Eye-opening — especially because this is my first time in China.

Thank you so much to the people who organized and put this together! It was eye-opening, especially because this is my first time in China. Experiencing the VR at the Dream Lab was the most memorable and enjoyable.

A bit of an “aha” moment.

Seeing the board that said there were >23,500 Neolix autonomous delivery vans “out in the wild” today was stunning to me… it really confirmed that I will DEFINITELY not need to be driving in 10 years.

This one isn’t ours. A teenage trekker from California made this short film himself — his footage, his edit, from our July 2026 trek. The six farewell-dinner interviews below were filmed by us; this one is all his.
