Zoox Cto: Why Self-Driving Cars Are So Hard To Get Right

The road to autonomous vehicles is long and arduous, and it has already taken one high-profile victim: GM’s Cruise. Elon Musk has been promising autonomy in Teslas for years. It’s still not here. Jesse Levinson, co-founder and CTO at Zoox, Amazon’s robotaxi subsidiary, will be the first to tell you that autonomy is very hard to do. “In the olden days of 20 years ago, AI wasn’t very popular, and most people thought it was a stupid thing to work on,” Levinson said. He thought inventing a car that could drive itself was “cool,” adding that “I was pretty convinced that someday in my lifetime, cars would drive themselves.”
