Driven by a UK Government push to open up transport data and boost public transport use nationwide, Google Maps has officially integrated live public transport tracking. By mandating that operators share their live GPS data, tech apps can now let you literally watch your specific bus moving along the...

It's 2030 and you are reviewing humanoid robots. A Tesla. A Google. An Apple. An OpenAI. A Meta. A Figure. And a bunch of Chinese-made ones. Which one is best, and why? I think the Tesla understands the world much better. Why? There were eight Teslas around me on the freeway today. Start there. No other robot company has that data. But my robot is parked at the local high school twice a day. Its cameras see humans in all of our weirdness. How we move. Where we go. Where we walk. Who we talk with. What you are wearing. Whether your hair was combed this morning. That data will lead to robotics breakthroughs. Apple might keep up with its Vision Pro data, but it is too freaked out by the privacy implications of using said data. (On the front are six cameras and a couple of TOF -- Time Of Flight -- sensors that can see everything in your home in great detail). Google has a lot of data, for sure. All my: 1. Email. 2. Calendars. 3. Photos. 4. TV watching behavior. 5. Contacts. 6. Documents and spreadsheets. 7. Files. 8. Location data. So I expect Google's robot will be attractive to many. But how do you see the others shake out over the next five years? Make some guesses. But remember what an AI pioneer told me years ago about AI: it's all about the data. The Chinese ones have huge advantages: the Chinese have more data on their citizens, and many more citizens to boot AND they can make robots cheaper than we can. But now that you know OpenAI is building its own robot you have caught wind of what I've heard from many in San Francisco and Silicon Valley: that humanoid robots are the real prize of AI and will be highly profitable for those that can make them and find customers willing to buy them. Here, too, I learned long ago never to bet against Elon Musk. Will you?

The President of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, doesn’t even know if there is still a passenger train service between Zimbabwe’s capital city, Harare, and Zimbabwe’s second biggest city, Bulawayo. That is how bad and clueless his Government has become, and when I say these things here on social media, people who don’t live in Zimbabwe think that I am making it up. Imagine the President of your country not knowing if there is a passenger train between your two biggest cities, what does that mean? Sadly Zimbabwe’s main opposition doesn’t have a shadow transport minister to amplify these issues and educate citizens on why public transport is expensive for them because there are no passenger trains. In 1988 a bus ride cost $8 from Harare to Gweru, the train fare was $4 for the same distance, which means passengers could save half the fare when using passenger trains. The majority of the voters don’t know this because they were not yet born when intercity passenger trains were still moving. Citizens don’t understand the relatedness of rail services to the cost of goods in supermarkets, it requires political education which is the job of a shadow minister who would have researched on this particular brief and have the figures on their finger tips. This also applies to goods and services, the cost of a bottle of cooking oil is made more expensive because it has been transported via road instead of rail. On the primary issue, how does a country grow when the President doesn’t even know if there are passenger rail services between cities yet the same president appointed a board of directors at National Railways of Zimbabwe that is drawing perks and cars? The same president has a transport minister and permanent secretary and a whole ministry with directors and managers. I give up I tell you! It is concerning when a country's leadership is disconnected from critical issues like transportation. Lack of awareness about essential public services does indeed hinder progress and public welfare. Engaging citizens and addressing these issues through informed governance is crucial for a nation's development without which nothing will change.
