Inflation cools, how Waymo handled a crash, and the next startups to go public | E1965
Alex Wilhelm joins Jason to discuss Waymo crash implications (3:53), Apple's AI announcements post-WWDC (17:17), inflation cooldown (27:21), and more!
Key Points
- A regulatory framework for crypto projects in the US should mandate full disclosure of ownership and affiliations akin to IPO standards to ensure transparency and investor protection.
- Waymo's proactive software updates and recalls in response to self-driving car incidents demonstrate a commitment to safety and reliability, setting a higher standard for autonomous vehicle operations.
- The potential for rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could rejuvenate the IPO market, with companies like Databricks, Gusto, and Kraken being prime candidates for public offerings.
