The competition to oust Google as the leader in the fully autonomous vehicle sweepstakes is heating up with Uber getting aggressive. Read this morning about Uber's Bing acquisition and what it means. Speculation all around that Uber's purchase of the Bing software engineers is part of reaching toward the great driverless plan to replace those pesky human driver employees, I mean "independent contractors."
Google's reasoning in going completely driverless is correct, in my opinion, and Chris Umson gives a nice driverless for dummies TED talk about Google's rationale and the technology that is making this leap possible. According to Umson, we humans are not the best drivers and thousands of us die each year as a result.
