Every month, I recap the news articles I’ve consumed around autonomous cars, calling out the highlights and keeping track of market projections. This is also your chance, dear readers, to nominate a topic for discussion in the following month.

Research was the theme of July’s news; in fact, since the start of my blog in February, this month marks the first wherein the majority of articles I read were based on real news, and not pure speculation. More doing, less talking.

This Month’s Highlights:

Predictions:

Predictions are based on official statements from manufacturers, technology companies, and industry consultants. Exact year claimed may be +/- 1 due to statement variations or because I was lazy in making the chart.

Media Coverage:

Reminder: the media coverage depicted here merely represents my personal consumption of articles written this month by newsworthy sources. When certain stories go viral, I usually only represent them here by the first one or two outlets to publish the story.

Coming In August:

Video: How Money Motivates Opposing Perspectives On The Future Of Transportation (early August)

Prejudice Against Machines Will Be Swift And Ugly (mid August)

How The U.S. Fails To Understand Autonomous Vehicles (late August)
