Disclosure: I work for a Tesla competitor, not on self-driving. This is solely my own opinion. More and more, I feel that we need at least a couple more paradigm changes - specifically: - More understandable models - being able to get good answers to "why did you do that" - Better retraining - Don't do that thing! (without training a whole model) - Better internal learning - don't wait for the next download Non ML changes: Public understanding and acceptance of self-driving, favorable insurance and legal framework. Public understanding includes improvements to two way communication between humans and self driving vehicles. Legal framework includes limited liability for manufacturers. NOTE: I don't love this idea or even like it, but without it we will only get driver enhancement features, not SDC. (If you're angry at this suggestion, know that I am too) --- My basic approach to all of this is that you need to have a solution to any problems that automation will encounter. The World is a problem generating machine. Most solutions to automation problems involve constraining the problem space. But as that guy said "Life, uh, finds a way"
