Self-driving cars are already a reality, with companies like Tesla and Waymo leading the way in autonomous vehicle technology, which is a significant advancement in transportation.

While Tesla is a competitor in the self-driving space, we focus on developing general-purpose autonomous technology with Waymo, which can be applied in various fields.

Tesla is the only car company that believes its cars can achieve full autonomy through a software update, potentially making them five times more valuable than non-autonomous cars.

Tesla's autopilot represents a real-world application of AI, where human supervision is still required, highlighting the importance of human-robot interaction in achieving safety and efficiency in autonomous driving.

Tesla's camera-only approach for self-driving cars is scalable and efficient, while competitors like Whimo are currently ahead in deployment experience.

The future of autonomy is not just about technology; it's about saving lives and reducing the costs associated with accidents, which will become increasingly important in the coming years.

The future of transportation could see a complete transition from manually driven to autonomous vehicles, significantly changing how we navigate the world.

Uber's strategy involves building a hybrid network of human drivers and autonomous vehicles to optimize resource utilization based on demand.

An autonomous car could be used as an 'autonomous Uber', significantly increasing its utility from about 10 hours a week to potentially 50 hours a week.
