Don't be afraid if you find a taxi without a driver. It is a Self-Driving car. It has been proven that driverless cars are less prone to accidents, as their technology has more "eyes" to keep you safe on the road. We are talking about the present, not the future!
As per the survey, 94% of car accidents are due to human error and driverless car manufacturers claim that self-driving cars can eradicate those mistakes.
The automaker like Mercedes-Benz, GM and Hyundai are manufacturing Autonomous Vehicles. The new players are Tesla, Zoox, Pony .ai , WeRide and Horizon Robotics, Waymo and Wayve and a few more. Currently, 250 car manufacturers are working on producing fully autonomous vehicles across the world.
Recently, Waymo has finished 150000 paid rides per week. They have over 25,000 vehicles in their fleet and got a $5.6B fund as Series C funding and valued at $45B. Waymo is the Google Self-Driving Car Project that was started in 2009, and Google provided the world's first fully driverless ride on public roads in 2015.
Tesla has 160,000 customers using full self-driving features in 2022.
Generative AI speeds up the Development.
With Generative AI technology, there are lots of improvements in driving systems. This enhanced data could help the vehicles in better decision-making and safer driving. Generative AI can improve sensor data processing and improve the resolution of images captured by cameras or generate additional LiDAR data points where sensor coverage is sparse.
OEM is developing a self-learning end-to-end AI driving system.

Flying cars!
I have already covered in one edition about the future. The U.S. company Alef Aeronautics for instance, plans to sell personal cars that can drive on roads and take off into the skies.
