Autonomy as infrastructure: the new reality of driverless mobility

This collection of texts, centered around an article by Enrique Dans, provides an overview of the current state of autonomous driving technology. The main piece highlights the significant progress made by companies like Waymo, evidenced by a sharp increase in paid rides and a study showing drastically reduced accident ratescompared to human drivers, particularly in dense urban environments. However, the article also points out a key challenge: the cost and difficulty of creating and maintaining high-definition maps required for widespread deployment. The accompanying comments from readers engage with various aspects of the technology, including the practicalities of its implementation, its potential impact on personal car ownership, and the differing regulatory approaches between the US, China, and Europe, often expressing a mix of optimism and skepticism.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «Autonomy as infrastructure: the new reality of driverless mobility«
