Hey, got a minute? Newt Gingrich would like to get your two cents on the subject of driverless cars. The GOP’s foremost moon enthusiast and “idea man” has spent the last hour spamming his 1.5 million Twitter followers with pleas for their opinions and recommended readings, so he can incorporate them into an upcoming class for “Newt University,” Mr. Gingrich’s educational venture.
Hey, why bother enlisting experts when you can just poll randos on Twitter?
We’re doing a #newtu course on driverless cars. Any specific areas you would like us to cover?
