In Germany we have a clear path for those last and before last groups: apprenticeships. They are structured, widely accepted and highly respected. It seems like in the US such an alternative path is unfortunately missing (i.e. go to college or you will struggle).

Define "most promising". I think deep learning is currently pretty hot and many people seem to think it will be very useful in the future.

Did you read the article? The theory seems clear to me...

I did an internship at Audi a few years ago and it looked exactly the same.

The one thing that was much more impressive at Audi however is that, as opposed to Tesla, where one line seems to produce one type of car, at Audi, the same line (i.e. the same robots) would sequentially work on different models. A robot might, for example, attach an A4 windshield, then a Q5 windshield, etc. That was very impressive. The required identification information (model, type, options,...) was contained on a small transmitter attached on the transporter carrying the semi-finished vehicle.

This is obviously not necessary at Tesla since they only have two models, but it was nonetheless the thing that most impressed me.

The video at the bottom of the OP shows that plane taking off and landing.

Why did Bluray loose? I love Bluray. And I buy them too...

I was actually thinking about this today asking myself how often you have to tell yourself who you are until you become that person.

It's a kind of positive feedback loop. Until I started research at university I used to just do enough to pass well. When I started doing research I started enjoying it much more and consequently started working more. I became a hard-working person, both to myself and others. And this in turn led me to work even harder (also when it wasn't so enjoyable).

Same goes for other things like sports, community service, etc...

I guess it's the old saying of absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is very sad though!
