EN: For the French, losing Notre Dame would be like losing the White House or the US Capitol here: it isn't just a cultural icon admired by humanity around the world, it's a physical manifestation of the very fabric of France and all her history.

FR: Pour les français, perdre Notre Dame c'est comme perdre le White House ou le US Capitol: c'est pas simplement une icône culturelle qui est admirée par humanité autour du monde, c'est un manifestation physique du tissu vrai de la france et toute sa histoire.

Today, I suggest that semi-autonomous vehicles like Tesla could make people more careless, thereby reinforcing the need for driver monitoring systems sooner rather than later; China readies a 100 km (62 mi) freeway with AV-only lanes; and we discuss what autonomous vehicle makers can learn from elevators. Yes, elevators.

So we've got yet another special guest for today's special 1-hour(!) two-part episode -- the first part of which aired on Tuesday -- Dr. Justin P. Schorr, Ph.D., a collision reconstruction expert with DJS Associates. Given Justin's work on high-profile collisions involving Teslas and other semi-autonomous vehicles, we decided to dive into a fascinating 30 minute discussion that managed to explode into a whopping 1-hour conversation touching on just about every issue imaginable regarding autonomous vehicles; hence my decision to split the conversation into two parts. So sit back, relax, the conclusion of my conversation with Dr. Schorr begins now....

Another day, another interview, this time, with none other than AEye President Blair LaCorte, as we talk all about the "biomimicry"  magic that is AEye. What AEye are doing is a fusion of lidar and camera vision to merge 2D and 3D, and in so doing, to enable real-time focusing and only the things that matter, to essentially empower autonomous vehicles with a sort of "visual cortex" like the human brain. Otherwise, it would take at least 25 years to exceed human-powered vision.

Today: Japan is laying the foundation to prepare for Level 3+ autonomous vehicles in 2020 by letting drivers-not-driving to use their cell phones. Meanwhile, a new proposal for the various levels of autonomy -- currently SAE's five levels -- imagines a rather binary solution, i.e., a car either is or isn't autonomous. And, Waymo starts selling its adorably named "Laser Bear Honeycomb" lidar to third parties.
