## Resource

Johan Land, Chief Product Officer at Samsara, breaks down why every major AI lab crowded into the easy 90% of knowledge work while ignoring the 40% of the economy that is physical and the 80% of workers who never sit at a desk. He explains why intelligence on a battery budget has to live on the edge - collision warnings fire in milliseconds, making GenAI's hundreds of milliseconds of latency unthinkable behind the wheel - while the heavy pattern-spotting waits for the backend. Johan also dives into why the era of dashboards is over, describing an agent that calls a drowsy driver over the in-cab camera to talk him into a coffee break, and why coverage across 99% of US roads beats a robotaxi fleet's high-resolution sensors. Finally, he argues frontline augmentation lasts indefinitely, since a delivery that navigates the dog and sets down the package is far messier than driving the van autonomously.
