84% Informative

Self-driving cars, long a sci-fi staple, are becoming a reality for more people.

Despite recent expansions for companies like Waymo and Zoox , the road to developing autonomous vehicles is a long and winding one.

As robotaxi companies gradually expand their coverage areas, they're likely to remain on the slow and steady route.

Analyst: "I wouldn't expect any big revolutionary developments in 2025 ".

AAA survey: 66% of US drivers have expressed fear and 25% feel uncertain about fully-autonomous cars.

People tend to overestimate the maturity of the technology, expert says.

Companies will likely spend the months ahead continuing to focus on advancing their self-driving technologies, especially across a range of climates.

Startup Avride plans to launch a robotaxi service in Dallas sometime in 2025 .

Nuro is another company tapping into autonomous deliveries and ridehailing.

The companies that have the resources to be funded for 5 to 10 more years will make it through.
