Thanks to a leading AI group in Hong Kong called OpenCog Foundation, funding from the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation based in New York, and the Hong Kong government, the AI lab in Sidist Killo, Ethiopia called Addis AI Lab, has become the computer science pioneer in Sub-Saharan Africa.

For years, automakers have told a specific story about how self-driving cars would arrive in the world. They would be shared and electric, fleets of ride-hail vehicles shuttling passengers like fancy taxis. General Motors and Lyft signed an agreement to pull it off back in 2016; Ford promised its robotaxis would debut by last year; Daimler said it would work with Uber to deploy fleets of Mercedes-Benzes. The logic was financial: Autonomous vehicle technology would be so expensive to develop that carmakers wouldn't be able to offer it to most drivers at prices they could afford. This vision carried profound implications: If city dwellers could depend on fleets of shared robotaxis for long trips, they could abandon the personal car altogether.
