@NialaBoodhoo @Courtenay_Brown @NatBankers1927 @1863ventures @bradleyml @econjared46 Nicole Elam: “The reality is that there is a downward decline…at the peak there were 134 Black banks, today there are only 19…one of the biggest reasons is around access to capital. These banks have been historically undercapitalized, they’ve been doing more with less.”

@NialaBoodhoo

ICYMI: @LADOTofficial's General Manager, @seletajewel, discusses autonowashing on The Future of Autonomous Vehicles with @JoannMuller (@ 32:15)

axios.com/axios-event-fu… via @axios #AxiosEvents

Autonowashing makes something appear to be more autonomous that it really is.

Here, Seleta Reynolds refers to #autonowashing as a general hype + unmet promises of the entire self-driving industry

And it's true––this is autonowashing, too. This is the effect it has @ scale.

Autonowashing is not progressive.
Autonowashing is friendly fire.

And not just to the brands engaging in it, but to the broader industry as a whole.
