Self Driving Cars

Self Driving cars are a huge step forward into the future. Yet the most brilliant minds in America have come together to achieve this great feat. Lyft and Waymo, two companies who have tried and failed at producing self driving cars, are now teaming up. With only one rival in there way to victory. Uber. Uber has seemed to have already mastered the self driving car industry. However minor setbacks will allow Lyft and Waymo to try to capitalize the industry with their new tech. District Judge William Alsup charges gave Waymo broad power to scrutinize Uber's program after finding evidence that Uber somehow stole Waymo’s self driving car plans. The charges state that a Waymo attorney and technical expert will be allowed to monitor Uber's ongoing business. They will also have the power to ask for a large number of documents that Uber has so far not handed over, including records of meetings, and phone calls with Anthony Levandowski, the engineer who took the documents. This is another major setback to Uber and a large leap forward for Lyft and Waymo.

I chose this article because just the thought of a self driving car excites me. And now seeing that two brilliant minds are teaming up brings us closer to the solution of self driving cars.
