Let's set some ground rules to safely build, test, and drive robo-cars

When it comes to developing and testing self-driving cars or building the software and parts that grant them the power to drive autonomously, it's often considered the wild west here in the U.S. 

So to get the future of high-level autonomous driving on the same page, Aptiv, Audi, Baidu, BMW, Continental, Daimler, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Here Technologies, Infineon, Intel, and Volkswagen came together with itheir "Safety First for Automated Driving" publication, released Tuesday. 

This isn't about technical solutions to make self-driving cars safer, but an overall look at how the industry monitors and reports safety standards while building, testing, and operating autonomous vehicles.  Read more...
