Couple of thoughts on your provocations: the risk of going first, the vulnerability needed for common ground and the role or behavior of reputation. It takes a long time to earn and shape but can be wiped out or destroyed instantly. With all the accidents, deaths and scenes of self-inflicted traffic jams or honk fest reputation of Cruise, and in general autonomous vehicles was swiftly torn down. Doesnt help that SF and other cities can feel like living laboratories. If you dont know what is the product you’re the product could be, if you dont know who are the mice, in the experiment, you are? Similar pattern for vaccines. Which makes pulling dull edged policy levers that alter the flow of the above a scary proposition. Many orgs and elected officials struggle to successfully co-create w communities, in general, which undermines how to establish, communicate any ‘living in beta’ change, renovation, alteration etc. 2cents. Thx for the work you do to put these together.
