Let me see: the regulatory environment is in flux and not quite ready for autonomous vehicles; GM can claim an early lead for being to mass produce these vehicles - so who are the first customers - ride sharing companies and cities - and when is the first shipment / big contract expected? (I haven't done more research yet!; so I'm curious what other HNers know or think.)
- JumpCrisscross 9y agoAlmost certainly not (American) cities. With Uber de-fanged, I'm not sure which competitor has the capital and sense of urgency to go to battle for self-driving cars. My guess is a foreign city-state, e.g. Singapore or Luxembourg.
- dpflan 9y agoInteresting. Do you know of any previous publicly expressed interest by either (or any!) of those cities?
- blackguardx 9y agoOne minor point: Luxembourg the country has a city called Luxembourg inside it. Luxembourg the country isn't a city state, though. It has other cities/towns/villages.
