Two milestones, one message: fasten your seatbelt! – Wasteless Future

Two important milestones were achieved within recent 15 days. Milestone 1: The first driverless taxi fleet is already operational in Pittsburgh. On September 14, Uber announced that the world's first Self-Driving Ubers are now on the road in the Steel City of Pittsburgh. As the company explains "We're inviting our most loyal Pittsburgh customers to experience the future first. If a Self-Driving Uber is available, we'll send it along with a safety driver up front to make sure the ride goes smoothly. Otherwise it's uberX as usual…This pilot is a big step forward. Real-world testing is critical to the success of this technology. And creating a viable alternative to individual car ownership is important to the future of cities".
