Let’s not Call them Flying Cars, Maryanna Shares Perspective at the Uber Elevate Conference
As a moto-head I cringe at the prospect of taking a car and trying to make it fly - it’s inefficient, it’s heavy, it’s a waste. Cars are amazing but nothing about the word ‘car’ evokes flight-worthiness. Soon Tesla and other companies pioneering electric vehicles will change our perspective on the word car, it will become seamless with powerful, clean, accessible transport; until then let’s keep the cars to the ground and stop trying to strap wings to internal combustion engines. Here’s a link to a fun discussion we had at the Uber Elevate Summit around funding e-VTOL’s, and how that future may evolve.

NPR Interview on VC and Cognitive Diversity
I don't usually like to talk about VC topics, but NPR Marketplace posted an interview by Molly Wood.
Minute 11 — team size and scaling limits
Minute 15 — seven year cycles from feedback lag
Minute 18 — the cognitive diversity bonus
I recently learned that I am quoted in Scott Page's book on Diversity pp.124-5. At a philanthropy gathering, he reminded me that when I first met him at a conference lunch, I got all excited about the SFI research showing diversity being more important than ability in certain contexts, and I quoted him before I knew he was him. I'm glad I got the attribution right there!
