WHY IT MATTERS: everyone has experienced remote work in recent weeks. Zoom, Teams or Meet are fine if you work in an office. But out there in the fields, you need more.

WHY IT MATTERS: tragedies often inspire innovation. I assume the autonomous vehicle will get a shot in the arm in the new normal of limited contacts. Watch the videos in the article to get a feeling on how the vans drive themselves - it is sometimes scary. Lots of improvements are required.
