How to Succeed with a Startup [video]

The trouble often isn't picking the industry but figuring how to make money out of it. Like AI and self driving cars are obviously poised for growth but Google/Alphabet and other large companies are likely to dominate. And a lot of that is already priced into the stocks.

I remember Altman saying an AI for X startup would be a good idea though. I guess Cruise Automation played things well.

Actually neither of those things are obvious to me, AI seems over hyped and the head of Waymo has stated that ubiquitous self driving cars are 30 years away. Although perhaps I'm just getting a bit cynical in my old age.

Any source on the 30 year thing? They already have test cars driving around with no one in the front seat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPfC9Yfsjd8&t=2m40s) and it seems there will be both intense competition to grab market share and also a push from regulators to reduce the present 1.25 million road deaths per year.

Ta for the link though that talk was over two years ago and things have moved on. Personally I'd be surprised if it took that long.
