## Quote — verbatim

> When you have a future where you have computers \[that\] essentially are mobile — you can think about a robot or a self-driving vehicle — the compute is at the edge, and in order for edge compute to function you need to solve the communication cost problem... the only way to achieve that is the massive distribution of compute all across, with the incentive model for these providers.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Continuation of the post-parity vision; he calls the result "innovation beyond imagination" at 01:10:55. Caption reads "self-prime vehicle" (auto-caption artifact).
