What's next for autonomous self-driving cars? In this episode, we explore the development of self-driving autonomous vehicles and the role of AI in improving their reliability, safety and economic viability.

We discuss the history of self-driving vehicles, including the DARPA challenges that spurred the development of self-driving cars, and the challenges and developments in the industry. The conversation also focuses on the use of AI and computer vision in autonomous vehicles, a new concept of 'shared autonomy' in self-driving and the benefits of autonomous technology. We also dive deep into the possibilities of autonomous trucking and speak with a company that already has a fleet of self-driving trucks on the road – trucks that have driven more than 2 million kilometers to deliver freight.

Joining us are three experts in autonomous driving: John Dolan, a principal systems scientist at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute; Deva Ramanan, professor at Carnegie Mellon's Robotic Institute and co-director of their Center of Autonomous Vehicle Research; and Bart Nabbe, head of business development and strategic partnerships at Aurora Innovation.
