This just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how to do news. Data helps, but data doesnât tell a reporter to spend a years-long investigation into child labor or an editor to place staff in a country on the brink of war. What exactly does Bezos think WaPoâs âjournalistic missionâ is?

This could also easily be wrong and lead people to buy and fit the wrong tires, a mistake that can cause deadly mishaps for the driver, occupants, and anyone else who might be around. Just check the OEM materials yourself. They are not hard to find.

All the robots that fall down and donât work at CES this year are proof you should not build something in the image of a man. Biblical hubris. Robots should look like Battlebots, do one thing poorly for the first ten years and then sorta get good, like vacuum robots.
