02/24/17: Google vs. Uber in the self-driving car race

There have been a lot of protests going on recently. And at these events, there’s a fair amount of time spent sitting, standing, waiting. Ian Bogost, a game critic and professor at Georgia Tech, discusses how a new website called protestgames.org aims to have attendees translate some of that downtime into positive energy. Next, we’ll look at Alphabet’s decision to sue Uber and Otto for allegedly stealing its intellectual property. And to end today’s show, we’ll play this week’s Silicon Tally with Laura Weidman Powers, the co-founder and CEO of the nonprofit Code 2040.
