To achieve autonomy on the motorway, we need to modify the motorway as well as the vehicle.

Why bad names are bad
When you use “artificial intelligence” instead of the more accurate “probability modelling”, you create a bad legacy.
Level 5 autonomous driving will take between 5 and 500 years
This isn’t the first time people have inflated expectations from “artificial intelligence”. It happened again 50 years ago.
There is no such thing as a driverless truck
The driver is not just someone who monitors the road ahead and decides when to press the brakes. The driver is the person responsible for the vehicle while it is on road.
Noticing unusual sounds
What will a driverless truck do if the engine is making a strange noise?
How Ware uses autonomy in a controlled environment
Computer vision and other modern technologies are great and can be used to achieve autonomy in controlled environments.
Driver assisting vs. driverless
Recently there have been several experiments where a truck goes out driving “on its own”. Except that there is actually a driver in the cabin.
Is Atlas autonomous?
If Atlas looks so impressive, it’s because it looks like us. It’s not because it has any intelligence at all.
How intelligent is one who can walk?
The Altas robot is impressive, but it is entirely unintelligent.
The mountain and the moon
Our progress in vehicular automation doesn’t mean we are necessarily on the right path to level 5 autonomy.
Dreyfus and Dreyfus on subworlds
Level 5 autonomous driving is not just a step beyond level 4—it’s a whole different world.
What do you do if a traffic policeman makes strange movements?
Trying to foresee all possibilities won’t solve the problem of true vehicle autonomy.
Level 5 autonomous vehicles in India
A truly autonomous vehicle must be able to handle this situation.
Controlled motorways
To take the driver out of the cabin, there’s only so much we can do on the vehicle; we also have to control the road.
The real world is a hard place for computers
Level 5 autonomy cannot be achieved by current technology.
What is “artificial intelligence”?
“Artificial intelligence” is just a fancy term for “probability modelling”.
“Driverless” and “autonomous”
The terms “driverless” and “autonomous” are misleading.
