You know Americans have gone to hell when they are too damn lazy to drive their own car. Guess they want to sit in the back seat eating bon bons and poking their cellphone.
Liability issues make self-driving too risky for manufacturers.
Juries can award tens of millions in a single case.
Who speaks for the rest of the country who does NOT want to be driving on roads with driverless vehicles (and we probably already are).
I was in software for 30 years - I know none of it is bulletproof. I'd rather not be killed by someone's buggy code, written at 3AM while they were trying to make a deadline, and not adequately tested because "Let the Beta folks test it".
Indian software?
the terrorists love it
cuz everybody knows the toughest part about a car bomb

Automated vehicles?
Train runs over automated food delivery robot:

“In fact, all kinds of mobility projects are losing money — bike-share, ride-hailing, scooters and shuttles, alike.”
They can add EVs to that list, since the Virtue Signalling class of people now have their EVs, meaning that EVs now have to actually COMPETE against gasoline cars (at least until government forces everyone to buy EVs).
Here’s a pretty interesting interview with the leading German auto insurer: https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/financial-services/our-insights/insurance/klaus-jurgen-heitmann-on-the-journey-to-mobility-ecosystems?
Essentially refers in guardrd terms to transitioning their business beyond the “mobility” world in a decade plus. Suggests that in the near term they are going to buy up local repair shops and in the medium term, they expect to supply car services on a monthly rate basis, before even that disappears (for peons, of course).
Makes sense that as the globalists wind down the right to own and drive cars independently that they might want to buy up local service shops. Also gives insight on how they might plan the wind-down/control in other countries as well.
Do trains first, then we’ll talk.
A bad idea is just that, profit poison.
Wake up.
How does Ford keep losing billions of dollars and the stock price remain where it is? Must be the entire market is completely corrupt.
So, no Johnny Cab?
It was BOUND to fail….
Fully autonomous driving is multiple decades (at least) away. Whole lot of BILLIONS burned on snake oil.
This is an 80/20 90/10 problem. The first 80-90% are the easy part… the remaining 10-20% are the hard part and represent 80-90% of the overall effort… and it took 30-40 years to get to the 80-90% (east part) done.
Whole lot of fools burned a whole lot of cash thinking it was “almost there”… and it’s not… not even close.
