In just the last few months, we have been witness to many signs
of technological advancement in this field: Tesla declaring its ability to produce a fully autonomous vehicle by 2017; Uber utilizing a broad
definition of Pittsburgh's existing regulatory framework and close cooperation with local authorities in order to turn the city into an experimental ground for autonomous taxis; Otto testing the operation
of autonomous
trucks, which have the potential to disrupt the entire commercial delivery industry; Google, Baidu, Volvo, and many others, already stepping in and
working hard to establish themselves in the industry, too.
