(1,250 posts)I'm in Los Angeles. I see Waymo robotaxis -- autonomous, driverless vehicles operating safely on the streets of Los Angeles every day. In fact, I see them several times each day. These are "facts" not nonsensical hyperbole:
Waymo is currently delivering more than 150,000 autonomous rides per week in Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Just a few months ago, the firm was only completing about 50,000 rides per week meaning its tripled its ride volume in just a few months.
Waymo has plans to expand to 10 new cities in 2025, including Las Vegas, San Diego, Atlanta, Austin, and Miami. Plus, the company has partnered with Uber to autonomously deliver food through Uber Eats in select locations, including Phoenix.
Late last year, Elon Musk unveiled the Cybercab and Cybervan, two fully autonomous vehicles without steering wheels that Musk sees as the future of Tesla. In fact, perhaps even more exciting, Tesla plans to launch its own robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, in just a few months!
Soon, there will be autonomous, driverless 18 wheeled tractor-trailor trucks operating on the Interstate Highways carrying freight from city to city.
I'm a laywer and I'm in the law business -- all legal document review software platforms now incorporate some version of A.I. into their programming. The use of A.I. in Law, Medicine and Engineering (just to name a few professions) has been exponentially growing and markedly so over the past several years. It will soon grow exponentially with the advent of newer and faster semiconductor chips the likes of which Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor and AMD are now imagining, designing and creating. The advent of the third decade of the 21st Century (only 5 years away) will be nothing like the world today!
