Machines that think: machines on the move

This time, Jan Bosch observes that the real work for autonomous driving is the domain-by-domain accumulation of evidence.

Of the 220.6 million rider-only miles, Phoenix accounts for 80.6 million, the San Francisco Bay Area for 67.1 million and Los Angeles for 51.8 million.

That’s 199 million miles – roughly 90 percent of the entire evidence base – in three metros.

California only lifted its ban on testing driverless vehicles over 10,000 pounds on public roads in April, and the Teamsters sued the DMV over it in August.

Autonomous driving is the one field that already writes both down.
