Driverless Knowledge Base
Plain-English explainers on how self-driving cars work, who is building robotaxis and driverless trucks, and how they are regulated — written to be read alongside the daily broadcast.
How Self-Driving Cars Work
The technology under a robotaxi, in plain English: the SAE levels, the sensors, the software that perceives and plans, the maps and geofences, and how it is all tested.
Robotaxis and the Companies Building Them
Who is actually driving without a driver: Waymo, Tesla, Zoox, the Chinese operators, the truckers, and the one that fell — where each stands and how it got there.
Safety, Rules and the Road Ahead
How safe the cars are and how anyone would know, who regulates them in the United States, the crashes that wrote the rules, and the humans still in the loop.
