    Where are all the robotaxis and autonomous cars we were promised?...

    Elon Musk’s now infamous 2019 claim that Tesla would have one million fully-autonomous robotaxis on the road by the end of 2020 has aged exactly as well as the experts have said it would. That is to say, the exact number of autonomous vehicles Tesla has on roads right now is zero. Investors are trembling at the prospect of yet another year without a driverless car. A few years ago we were promised autonomous vehicles would be the norm by now.


    A few years before that… it was the same. And, if you listen to the C-suite executives running the companies building these technologies, they’re still promising the same thing. The big question is whether these technologies will always be a few years away, or if there’s a threshold we can pass through where the future looks a bit less fuzzy.

    Is it just the technology or are the legal liabilities an issue?

    Right now our insurance system is geared toward the drivers responsibility!
