I think many issues mentioned in this video could be (partly?) solved with better infrastructures. Just imagine how many infrastructures we have built for the auto cars: We built roads, traffic lights, stop signs, parking signs, we painted lanes, etc, etc. We've made a huge investment into the infrastructures simply for the cars to run safely and efficiently.

With self-driving cars, new infrastructures need to be built, not for human, but for different censors mounted on the car.

Awesome video and another illustration of the critical role that DARPA government funding plays in subsidizing Silicon Valley. I think he mentioned "DARPA" about a million times in the video.

DARPA and massive state intervention in the economy should be right up there alongside private entrepreneurs like Musk who complete the last mile of bringing tech to market. It just kills me that there can even be a thing called a "Silicon Valley Libertarian" who's against "big" government. SV is a product of government investment.

Everyone interested in autonomous cars should look at this video.

John Leonard puts tremendous passion into the subject, has done amazing things and talks about how hard this stuff is.

Thanks
