Why This Moment Feels Different Autonomous vehicles have been discussed for years, but mostly in pilots, test tracks, or limited trials. What stands out now is intent. Targeting a fully driverless service suggests confidence, not just in technology, but in operations, safety processes, and regulatory engagement. That combination is hard to achieve. For me, this signals that autonomous mobility is moving from ex...
