Hi Bill, thanks for doing this - I've got a question, I know that maybe it's not specifically in your field, but I would still appreciate your thoughts as someone trying to "save the world".

To what extent do you envisage automation replacing common jobs anytime soon, on a large scale? If this is accomplished do you think it will be a current player (amazon/google/tesla), something completely left-field no one expected, or a community effort from thousands of small to medium sized enterprises working together?

Thanks!

To make sure I'm not misunderstanding - you see taxi drivers and truck drivers etc being the first to become mass unemployed and moving into building work?

I find it very easy to agree with that, and it's definitely something positive for the world, both in terms of accidents and pollution (a well driven car pollutes less), but how do you see the large car manufacturing industries/companies reacting to this? Do you think they'll try and push consumers in a direction which suits them, or be slightly more revolutionary and help drive the change? In other words, will it happen naturally (them shifting by choice) or by force (political intervention)?

Are TECO going to face, or have they faced, much public backlash from this? I live in UK, but I'm a Tampa Lightning fan, so know of TECO as they sponsor the power plays, which has got me intrigued as to their public image as a result of this wilfull negligence.
