Why This Country (Not The USA) Will Be First To Adopt Driverless Cars

CHONGQING, CHINA - MAY 24: A Pand-auto's electric car controlled by Baidu's Apollo autonomous driving system is on display at Chongqing Internet Industrial Park on May 24, 2018 in Chongqing, China. Baidu and its partner Pand-auto car sharing service started a one-month trial operation of autonomous car-sharing service in Chongqing Internet Industrial Park today. Two Silicon Valley executives have a friendly bet on when a commercially available autonomous car will transport them within Las Vegas, with no intervention from a human driver. The more bullish one has placed his bet on May 27, 2024. A driverless future will happen sooner than 2024, and it won't happen first in the US, Europe or Japan.
