Practically still fresh from a session yesterday with AV frontrunners Aurora, Zoox and Nuro, the Zoox guy Mark Rosekind remarked that it will take (at least?) three decades for full autonomy to become mainstream. One of the complicating factors? So many cars still on the road driven manually and with some driver assistance (ADAS). IMO, there is only one truly safe way to implement so-called Level 5 driverless, and that is to have some sort of 6G electronic overlay monitoring vehicle movements. As a matter of fact, Toyota is building such a dedicated city in Japan. The huge problem is that journalists and writers on medium.com keep rehashing the industry's narrative that full vehicle autonomy is just around the corner. IT IS NOT.
