On: Is the Era of Great Famines Over?

[taneq]

Seriously? Tesla, Mercedes, BMW, and Uber are all aiming for "a year or so". Volkswagen and Volvo seem to be about a year behind that. Don't get me wrong, I think there are significant challenges to overcome, but this "self-driving is always 20 years away" view doesn't mesh with most credible projections.

That depends on if you're talking about level 3, 4, or 5 autonomy, on what kind of roads, and under what kind of weather conditions.

I don't think anyone says level 5 autonomy in bad weather is close.
