Waymo in Chicago: Do the pros outweigh the cons?
Dr. Missy Cummings, the director of George Mason University’s Autonomy and Robotics Center, joins Lisa Dent to discuss Waymo’s driverless taxis operating in Chicago. Dr. Cummings shares that Chicago offers unique challenges to Waymo’s technology. Potholes, one-way streets, and other traffic features that appear in Chicago are hurdles to the company’s self driving software.
