Ask HN: Any well funded tech companies tackling big, meaningful problems?
Say you worked in a software development organization that was dysfunctional, shipped updates 3-4 times a year and had lots of infighting&#x2F;political battles between teams. A vendor came by talking about a new development process with a cool tool touting amazing features - do you think buying into this process plus tool is going to solve your organizational problems?<p>Is tech the right tool to attempt solving societal problems?<p>If Tesla&#x27;s goal was to have an impact on climate change they should allow other car companies to purchase their batteries and motors to build from. Or actually build an economical car, sub $25k, no self-driving or fancy features, no performance mode, etc.  Just a working, fully electric car that any working-class person could buy, globally.  That would have much more impact than building luxury electric vehicles.
