Hugh Jackman: "We've been building the road driver, which is this thing that allows the truck to drive safely. And when we hit feature complete, that means now we have all of the pieces in place" He says they don't all work well enough yet but are getting there.jackman: Over time, it'll evolve and we'll make it less expensive. We'll make it able to do more things. But we're over the course of these years, we expect to get to the point where it will operate without a person on board."
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.)
