I have some good news, and some bad news. Let's start with the bad:Close to 400 car crashes in the past 10 months in the US involved driver-assist systems, about 70% of them involving Teslas. (Although not clear whether this is higher than average or not, given how many more vehicles with advanced driver assist are Teslas than others.) * via Exponential ViewOn the other hand:Congratulations to Cruise who have worked long and hard to be the very first commercial robotaxi operator in the USA. On June 22 Cruise received a license to operate a commercial driverless ride hail service!Next newsletter I'll be doing the half year summary of robotics funding. Meanwhile, here's a recap of the Cascadia Robotics Investment Summit in Pittsburgh and here's some great robotics news articles.
