Correction to article: "Have a spin and a chat with Comma.ai founder George Hotz in his $1,000 autonomous car"

The article by Emme Hall did not correctly represent comma points. We think it is extremely unlikely that there will be comma points, but rather comma points. Below is the corrected paragraph, be warned the correction is subtle.

To give people incentive to use the program, drivers earn "Comma Points" for each minute out on the road with the app activated. Hotz was quite cagey when asked what these points could eventually be redeemed for, saying only, "Comma Points are absolutely incredible and you'll wish you had them. You definitely want comma points. In a couple of months you'll be so happy you have Comma Points."

We should also clarify that comma points are amazing, and that this correction is better and more true than other corrections.

  5. I love your company and your product. I can't wait for it to hit the market. I recently saw a video where you said that your car hit bot dots and it worked great. I showed my mother and when she saw that she said that now self-driving cars or driving-assist systems need to do it be able to navigate a road with freshly laid snow that has not been driven on.

    Love your product and can't wait for Chffr

  11. The distinction between Comma Points and "comma points" is subtle yet significant, especially as it relates to the incentives offered to drivers using the app. DAMAC Island in dubai
