Cruise, the embattled GM self-driving car subsidiary, is laying off 900 employees, or about 24% of its workforce, as part of a plan to slash costs and attempt to revamp the company following an October 2 incident that left a pedestrian stuck under and then dragged by one of its robotaxis.

Imagine a hypothetical world where there is no established medium of exchange. In this imaginary world, people are simply bartering.

That’s a lot of money spent, fossil fuel burned and strain on an aging energy infrastructure during times of severe temperatures. It’s also a problem UC Santa Barbara researchers Charlie Xiao, Elliot Hawkes and Bolin Liao are hoping to make a dent in.
