Despite baby steps, fully self-driving cars long way off: Venture capitalist

Artificial intelligence won't be able to control all aspects of operating a motor vehicle for quite some time, said technology trend spotter Scott Kupor. "It's going to be a long time ... before we get to fully autonomous vehicles," the managing partner of venture capital powerhouse Andreessen Horowitz told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. "We're not going to go from where we are today to fully autonomous vehicles tomorrow. There are different stages of autonomous vehicles," he said, such as human-assisted autonomous driving. In the race to build self-driving cars, Silicon Valley heavyweights, including the Google unit of Alphabet and Tesla Motors -- and traditional automakers, such as Toyota and General Motors, are vying to own the road.
