In this episode, we're discussing the intersection of technology and infrastructure. Michael talks about the inefficiencies in traffic management, citing the example of a traffic accident that can close a highway for eight hours due to the lack of a clear chain of command. He highlights the existence of drone-based technology that can capture accident scenes in under 30 minutes, but notes that it's not being widely adopted. We explore the consequences of prioritizing efficiency over resilience and the importance of investing in infrastructure that can withstand unexpected events.
