I was at a conference this week and one of the presenters made the point that full autonomous every day driving is the hardest problem to solve - it’s the end goal. A lot of benefits can be achieved without going that far. Mass adoption is likely to come sooner in the form of auto pilot for long distance highway driving, hub and spoke models for trucking where hub to hub is fully automated, etc.

Also saw a really interesting presentation on Uber Air where the leader of that business unit laid out their whole strategy for aerial transportation. Fascinating stuff.
