Autonomous technology still is not here yet but we are moving towards it rapidly. It is encouraging to see the governments get on board and starting to move their regulatory process forward. Typically, tech outpaces the regulators and adopters. It seems only the general public is lagging.
A program like this will really help people to get accustomed to the technology.
