Driverless Features Will Be An Evolution, Robotaxis A Revolution

Automobiles and the industry behind them are the result of a massive transformation from coach-built carriages to cars coming off assembly lines. Are driverless cars a revolution? Like many innovations that preceded them, they are merely improvements to the existing state of the art. Usually, technological improvements happen in the context of large companies, who leverage their balance sheets, brands, market reach and economies of scale to experiment with new products. Sony's Walkman, Nintendo's Gameboy, and the Toyota Prius come to mind.
