Listen Later

This week we are joined by Missy Cummings, Director of George Mason University's Autonomy and Robotics Center. Missy walks us through the safety concerns with self driving cars based on your research, talks about the definition of 'safe enough', how laughable remote operations are and lack of functional safety testing.

This episode underscores the urgent need for both state and federal regulations to improve safety standards and accountability for autonomous vehicles.
