The driverless car revolution is stuck in the slow lane

> It has been an outrageously expensive endeavour, of course. McKinsey put the total invested at over $100bn since 2010. Last year alone, funding into autonomous vehicle companies exceeded $12bn, according to CB Insights.

Hopefully we’ll see the automotive makers form a standard alliance with something like V2X communications. All this unit independent AI is bad news for humanity and Elon Musk is a degenerate who shouldn’t be trusted…
