Drive.ai will offer a self-driving car service for public use in Frisco, Texas

It's more like a parking lot shuttle. About a half dozen stops spread across six blocks.

There are a number of companies in that business. There are minibus-sized vehicles that creep around, like Local Motors' Olli and Navya's shuttle. A reasonable way to get started, but few if any seem to be good enough to have a paying installation with no human driver on board. There are some trials. Paris has some in use on a dedicated route. Shenzhen has a small fleet, but they have a "safety driver".

The Navya unit running in Vegas not only has a backup operator on board, there's another human-driven car following behind.

I like how this car has exterior communication to pedestrians. I think this is actually pretty important. The way I tell if I can cross a crosswalk is by making eye contact with the approaching driver, and other self driving cars can’t indicate if they see me.

"Self-driving cars are here" - Not criticizing, but I thought they were already "here"?

This is just a new industry competitor, correct? or am I missing something?

I'd have thought that the recent accidents would prevent these companies from rushing to market...
