Waymo, Uber, Starsky, Embark and Tesla out of stealth mode

Driverless vehicles are fast approaching. In recent weeks Starsky Robotics, Tesla, and Uber have all announced that their vehicles are up and running. While Starsky’s claims to have been the first are patently false, Freightwaves says Starsky’s technology is advancing more rapidly than expected. But this report goes beyond the announcements to assess why they are coming out now, and what is happening within the US regulatory landscape in anticipation of these vehicles hitting the road.
