What makes this announcement interesting is the fact that Andrew Ng <

intelligence, makes the pronouncement "I am thrilled that self-driving
cars are finally here."
"Starting in July, [drive.ai] will run a fleet of driverless vehicles
around Frisco, Texas, a city of 164,000 people on the northern edge of the
Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. Announced today, the six-month pilot?which
will keep human safety operators behind the wheel, ready to grab control
if the car gets confused or misbehaves?marks Drive.ai?s first large-scale
effort to put people in its cars, and the first such deployment in Texas."

"For example, no self-driving team has a realistic roadmap to reliably
interpret the hand gestures of a construction worker waving for a car to
proceed; computer vision just isn?t good enough yet. Thus, we are
partnering with governments and private parties to deploy in geofenced
regions, where we can find other ways for construction workers to
communicate with our fleet operations team."
