Who Wins The Race For Autonomous Driving?

Who is ahead in developing cars that can safely hit traffic without hitting people?

• Driverless vehicles have been hailed as the future of mobility for some time, but the product is far from ready to replace the car as we know it.
• Developers are battling to come up with technological solutions that would make autonomous vehicles (AVs) street-ready before anyone else does - and reap the financial rewards.
• Whoever wishes to take the lead in this competition is tasked with making a driverless car that can drive just like a human, but without the mistakes - no small feat.
• Google’s Waymo and Tesla are the two companies currently leading the driverless race, while pursuing different strategies. Both are still struggling to overcome stubbornly difficult tech obstacles.
• Then there is the question of where driverless cars can learn how to drive and react to unexpected moments, just like humans.
• Whether Amazon, which joined the self-driving race in 2021 by buying Zoox and tech startup Aurora, which acquired Uber's self-driving division, will make history as AV pioneers remain to be seen.
