Windguy- Thanks for the enlightening and informative video.

Henry Ford ran into much the same criticism, phobia, and pearl-clutching mania when his mechanical vehicles first took to the roads a century ago. Decades ago my mother would not purchase a car with "cruise control" because she was convinced everyone would fall asleep behind the wheel.

Waymo and other autonomous vehicles will have to tackle a substantial education hurdle in the decade(s) ahead. Videos like this break down on a complex subject.
