Granted it's already been several years since Apple reportedly abandoned self-driving as a priority for its car project, but I wonder if this signals a larger shift. A decade ago, the popular sentiment was that autonomous vehicles were going to completely reshape our built environment in the coming decade. And yet here we are in 2024, with the industry leader still only running limited trials in two markets, the next two woefully behind, and everyone else out of the market. Perhaps AVs have entered the realm of fusion, something that may yet be transformative, but on a much longer time scale than initially thought.
