If Teslas navigate with cameras, does that mean a Wil E Coyote style tunnel painting will actually work?

from the ask-hn dept.

I've been awarded options to buy stock but the accompanying legal documents make my head spin. Are there any common caveats or other things to look for in an employee options contract?Would you advise seeking professional counsel to review them?

My understanding of it is that when light passes through a medium, it does not do so in a straight line. So, while the actual speed of light remains constant, it takes longer to get from one end to the other.
