Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

即使你处于正确的轨道上，但如果你只是坐在原地，也会被别人碾过去。

From Will Rogers.

I remember I have maken some comments about this topic before, but I couldn't recall the exact date.

That doesn't matter, things always change, so I think maybe I have some new thoughts as to the topic.

Notice, change is the only thing that doesn't change in this world.

That means, if you can't make any progress, you have actually been left behind by your peers.

Never count on the case that others may stop their paces to wait for you.

They will keep moving, even if they are willing to wait for your to catch up with their pace, things, are still changing.

Maybe you can't see the short-term consequences just because they are too trivial, or too minor to grip your attention, however, over a certain period of time, like half a year, or one year, the difference will be obvious, sometimes may be so huge that you will never catch up on.

Then, you will feel regretful for your inaction in the past, just like the status I am current in.

Now we know we must keep moving forward, even the least step will accumlate in big difference.

Hard work may not guarantee a good result, but it will be better than never.

 

Some news about auto pilot:

One of the most famous tech-giants, Tesla, said it is tentatively scheduled to unveil its planned semi-truck in late October, which was about one month later than its CEO, Elon Musk, had earlier estimated.

It was reported by some media that the electric semi-truck could have a range of 200 to 300 miles on a single charge.

Tesla planned to develop out a long-haul, electric semi-truck that could drive itself and move in platoons that followed a lead vehicle.

Maybe that is a limited self-driving. And I think the biggest obstacle for electric vehciles may be the battery.

Once there are some breakthroughs in the battery technology, then we can bring an end to the traditional fueled vehciles.
