The state of self-driving autonomous cars. (Updated)

Self-driving autonomous cars, also known as autonomous vehicles (AVs), are vehicles that are equipped with sensors, cameras, and other technologies that allow them to operate without the need for a human driver. Autonomous vehicles use a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and real-time data from sensors to navigate roads and traffic and make decisions about how to operate the vehicle.

The development of autonomous vehicles has progressed significantly in recent years, and a number of companies are testing and deploying AVs in various applications, including personal transportation, ride-sharing, and delivery services. However, the deployment of AVs has been slower than some initial predictions, and there are still significant challenges to overcome before they become widely available.

One major challenge is the development of the necessary technology and infrastructure to support the safe and reliable operation of AVs. This includes the development of robust and reliable AI algorithms, as well as the deployment of sensors and other technologies that allow AVs to operate safely in a wide range of environments. There are also regulatory, legal, and ethical issues that need to be addressed before AVs can be widely deployed.

Overall, the state of self-driving autonomous cars is still in the early stages of development, and it is likely to be several years before they become widely available. However, it is expected that autonomous vehicles will play a significant role in the future of transportation, and they are likely to have a major impact on the way that people and goods are transported.

• “My definition of ‘innovative’ is providing value to the customer.” ~Mary Barra, CEO GM.
• “Sergey and I founded Google because we’re super optimisitc about the potential for technology to make the world a better place. Think about how many people are underserved by transportation today, like those with disabilities, and how self driving cars will transform their lives. Or the wasted time you sit in your car every day commuting to and from work. Or the deaths and injuries that could be avoided.” ~Larry Page
