Can fully autonomous vehicles end the era of fatal car accidents?
In this conversation, Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana joins Sal Khan to discuss the potential of driverless technology. The video explores whether moving beyond the steering wheel could solve the persistent problem of deadly road crashes.
The discussion moves past the idea of autonomous driving as a mere technological novelty. Instead, it examines the possibility of using fully autonomous vehicles—where passengers never need to touch the wheel—to replace the current dangerous status quo of manual driving and reduce fatal accidents.
