> Toyota got into autonomous driving late. Then they hired Gil Pratt from MIT. Pratt used to run the MIT Leg Lab, which Raibert ran before Boston Dynamics, but Pratt didn't do much there. They've hired other folks, too, who have real-world autonomous vehicle experience. Google/Waymo are definitely leading the pack, but I don't think we'll see Level 5 in a production vehicle for at least five years, probably closer to 10. I read the recent article about their test facility (https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/08/inside-waymos-secret-testing-and-simulation-facilities/537648/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/08/insid...), but 1. It's still California weather and 2. I've routinely seen worse intersections. What do you do in a rotary where you have to cut across multiple lanes of traffic to exit? If the autonomous vehicle waits for another car to give way, it will be there forever.
