Physical AI doesn’t just need more data. It needs refined data.
Validated. Calibrated. Traceable. Built with provenance.
That’s why we built Deepen Refinery: a marketplace for real-world data you can actually trust.

Soon, most EVs will be able to drive themselves to the charging station. We'll want "full serve" chargers where humans or robots plug the car in, then everything changes about charging. You don't need chargers at buildings. Cars are just always full, by magic. Speed is less important. Cars seek out cheap surplus solar and balance the grid. But the charging we're installing today may not survive. forbes.com/sites/bradtemplet…

I've made this new video to help people understand how self-driving can create superior 21st century transit rather than being the enemy of transit. piped.video/watch?v=2M2CrXLA…

Well, today's the day from my prediction. If you're in London, let me know how many robotaxis you see at 4pm this afternoon!

13 years ago, at the Wired 2013 event in London, I was asked when robotaxis would arrive there and as a joke, gave an answer of June 22, 2026 that turned out to be impossibly spot on. (3 companies are waiting on regulators to deploy right now.) It wasn't just a joke, though, it was based on my real predictions of the time, so as we approach the date I predicted, I've made a video to review just how predictions about self-driving by all sorts of people (especially including Elon Musk) have been right and wrong over the years, and why.
Why did so many get it so wrong? How did I get it almost dead on? Enjoy the video, or a text version which is up on the Forbes site.
