There is a built-in wariness in Silicon Valley when the subject of regulation comes up. It is never in a startup\u2019s best interests to complain about the regulator that has the power to change the rules in ways that can substantially help or hurt the industry. At the same time, it pays to pay attention to the latest pronouncements out of Washington, DC or Sacramento.
This week, we discuss several companies that have had very different experiences with regulators, from flight-sharing platform Wingly\u2019s success in Europe to self-driving car company Byton\u2019s experience of a lighter regulatory touch in China versus the United States.
Is there a concern with driver view obstruction when there is a large screen on a driver\u2019s dashboard? Are Byton cars designed for autonomous driving? Does a car have the ability to learn your tendencies and preferences? Should autonomous vehicle companies be working together to discover the best technology possible?
