CNN's John Sutter talks to the man behind Google's self-driving car project. "I'm a little ashamed of it, because I thought it was cool," he says about his early days working on autonomous cars. The company is one of the first companies to focus on this kind of technology and has invested heavily in its development.
Tesla’s self-driving ambitions (and the company’s recent recall) may dominate the conversation when it comes to autonomous driving, but they’re not the only players in the space. This week, Kara’s talking to CEOs whose driverless vehicles are being roadtested. First up: Chris Urmson, co-founder and CEO of Aurora, which will launch its driverless truck service next year in Texas. They discuss safety, job displacement and the time that Kara tried to hit Urmson with his own driverless car. (Spoiler alert: It didn’t work.)
