I think in 20 years from now the best self driving system will be an App which you install on your Car. Not Tesla's System.

The Car industry is now at a point at which Tesla is similar to Apple in its early days and the Microsoft of Cars, which will supply the rest of the manufacturers isn’t decided on yet but will definitely exist.

@isagalaev it's bad if it's confusing! when you say "asian food" you're talking about China and Japan but when other people say it they include Malay and Thai, and when other people say it they just mean "food that has spices in it" so no one actually communicates what they intend. it's better if you say what you actually mean.

@technomancy but why is it "bad"? It's simply how people are used to talk, there's no pejorative/negative connotations to any of it. Details will always get lost in how people adopt terms across cultures.

The point of the term "asian food" is to distinguish flavors brought by immigrants from China and Japan into Western diet from those adopted from French and Italian cooking (I'm simplifying). The term makes sense and serves a purpose.

@isagalaev actually I do think that using "American" to mean "from the USA, excluding every other country on the hemisphere" is almost as bad.

(and Lao food has next to nothing in common with Korean food or Indian food)

@technomancy but it's just a shorthand name for a particular set of techniques and flavors that makes sense to western people. Nobody thinks about, say, Central Asian cuisine, when talking about "asian food". Same as when people talk about "American music", nobody thinks about South America. I don't think it's a problem. Natural languages don't have to adhere to precise taxonomies.
