But the critical moment of his career came when he tried to order takeout food to his house. This was in 2018, when Abasi was living in the Arab town Umm al-Fahm. “Until then, I had been living in Haifa and Switzerland, so it was my first experience ordering a meal to Umm al-Fahm,” he said, “I discovered that it was really difficult. The Facebook page of the restaurant didn’t have a menu or pictures of the food. It took me 15 minutes to explain to the delivery boy how to get to my place because it has no street name or number. I was upset: I’m developing autonomous vehicles at Google and I can’t order food home. That was when the penny dropped.”
