Waymo is developing a self-driving car that could one day replace Uber. John Sutter: This will save these companies a lot of money, but it's going to be a choice. He says government should have clear industrial policy for big moments like this. And eventually, he says, people would like driverless cars; they just don't want them now.
After Kara and Nayeema discuss recent moves at CNN and the ducking cool innovation at Apple, we launch into part two of “Car Week” and an interview with Tekedra Mawakana. The Co-CEO of Waymo (formerly the Google self-driving car project) discusses trying to change how society moves while dealing with obstacles to the autonomous vehicle transition, like angsty Teamsters and tetchy regulators. And Kara explains why she’s so bullish on driverless cars.
