K2 Space, now a major player in space infrastructure, began with the contrarian goal of building large telescopes, bucking the small-satellite trend. This focus forced them to solve for high power and large structures, creating a versatile platform that is now perfectly positioned for communications and compute applications.
With Waymo's data showing a dramatic potential to reduce traffic deaths, the primary barrier to adoption is shifting from technology to politics.
