Today's Story Highlights
The Transportation Revolution: Self-Driving Cars Are Only the Beginning
The autonomous car has thrown the automotive industry -- an industry that is notoriously slow to change -- into the forefront of technology.
The autonomous car has become a technology catalyst because it requires
innovation in many areas, ranging from processor and sensor technology
to AI. The industry's focus initially has been on consumers because they
represent the billion-dollar pot of gold.

Voice Control for Connected Entertainment: Challenges and Opportunities
Smart speakers are becoming a more common platform for controlling connected entertainment due to a rapid increase in popularity and ease
of use. Household penetration of smart speakers is expected to reach 47
percent among U.S. broadband households by 2022. New entrants in the
connected consumer electronics market are likely to make announcements
about new voice-controlled speakers at CES 2019

Women as CEOs: The Problems and the Promise
I've followed several female CEOs over the years. Most failed, largely because they were both unqualified for the job and their boards didn't
back them up. In several cases, the board and the CEO seemed to be in
conflict, or the board failed to act. That has created the impression
that female CEOs are a bad bet. However, I believe the real problem is
that boards haven't been doing their jobs.

Protecting Against 'Natural' Cybersecurity Erosion
Every child who's ever played a board game understands that the act of rolling dice yields an unpredictable result. In fact, that's why
children's board games use dice in the first place: to ensure a random
outcome that is -- from a macro point of view -- about the same
likelihood each time the die is thrown. Consider what would happen if
someone replaced the board game's dice with weighted dice.

In Technology We Trust... But Should We?
Since the industrial revolution, technology has changed society continually. Largely due to innovations in semiconductor electronics,
software and computer technology, the pace of technological development
has continued to accelerate over the past 50 years. Personal computers
now fit into your pocket. You have access to people and information all
over the world through the Internet.
