I. Fried, June 25, "Apple bought Drive.ai, an autonomous driving startup once valued at $200 million, and has hired dozens of Drive.ai engineers, Apple confirmed to Axios on Tuesday.

Why it matters: The deal and hires confirm that Apple hasn't given up its autonomous driving project.

Details: The deal comes after Drive.ai talked with multiple potential acquirers, but in the end Apple won out. Apple also purchased Drive.ai's autonomous cars and other assets, sources tell Axios.

Drive.ai ceased operations within the last 2 weeks.

Apple's hires are mostly in engineering and product design, per a source.

The purchase price was not disclosed. Apple was expected to pay less than the $77 million Drive.ai raised in venture capital, to say nothing of the $200 million it was valued at two years ago, after its Series B round, Axios' Dan Primack reported recently.

The backdrop: Drive.ai's highlighter-orange vans ferried workers around a business park in Frisco, Tex., and shuttled fans in nearby Arlington to Cowboys games.

Drive.ai is laying off 90 workers in California, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. And the company employed many more in Texas."

F. Fishkin, June 28, "With Apple making an autonomous tech acquisition, what plans might it have when it comes to driverless mobility? Join Princeton's Alain Kornhauser and co-host Fred Fishkin for that plus the latest from Tesla, Ford, Waymo, BMW and more on episode 114 of the Smart Driving Cars podcast! Tune in and subscribe.

M. Sena, June 26, "The July issue of The Dispatcher contains two articles. The first is about a subject that most car companies have put at the bottom of their 'need-to-think-about' list while they figure out how to electrify, how to turn themselves into mobility service providers and how to spin a tale for their investors about when their cars will drive themselves. Unfortunately, if they don't revise their priorities, their investors will be looking for somewhere else to place their fortunes.

The second article is about FCA and Renault. Oftentimes, the back story is the important one, not the story that is being played out in public. I take a look at Renault's past to try to understand a little better what is going on with the company today. It was an enlightening investigation and I'm pleased to share the results with you..."

P. Hooey, June 26, " At first glance, the 18-wheeler, white with green lettering crawling down its side, looked like any other heavy-duty truck on the road. The vehicle merged onto the busy Florida Turnpike earlier this month, smoothly changing lanes and reaching 55 mph before eventually exiting the highway nearly 10 miles later.

The truck didn't have any cargo, but it was carrying a closely guarded secret: There was nobody in the cab..." Read more

G. Gardner, June 24, "Argo AI, a Pittsburgh-based artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicle tech company, is investing $15 million to establish a Center for Autonomous Vehicle Research at Carnegie Mellon University to improve self-driving technology.

The grant is for five years. The Autonomous Vehicle Research center will focus on improving sensors' perception and algorithms designed to improve safety and reliability in a range of conditions including winter weather, especially snow, and construction zones.

"We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with Argo AI to shape the future of self-driving technologies," Carnegie Mellon President Farnam Jahanian said in a statement. "This investment allows our researchers to continue to lead at the nexus of technology and society, and solve society's most pressing problems."..." Read more

F. Lambert, June 24, "When Tesla deployed its new TeslaCam and Sentry Mode features, it basically enabled millions of cameras (8 per car) installed on its vehicles to capture videos of their surroundings.

Those cameras are now capturing some crazy things. Here are some of the videos: In September of last year, Tesla released a software update to enable owners of vehicles with Autopilot hardware to use the Autopilot cameras to record footage when needed – like a dashcam – hence why they called the feature: "TeslaCam".

Building on its previously released dashcam feature, Tesla enabled the use of more cameras around the vehicle and activated a "stand-by" parking mode earlier this year. The feature became Sentry Mode, which also includes an alarm and notification system to deter thieves even more — efficiently creating a system to watch over Tesla vehicles when their owners are not around...."

R. Baldwin, June 25, "There's a fear from some that when cars drive themselves, that'll be the end of the joy of driving. Why even get behind the wheel if your vehicle can get you to your destination while you sit back and relax? BMW -- which boasts the tag line "the ultimate driving machine" -- has a concept that'll appease the future-looking owner that doesn't want to deal with the horrors of gridlock but needs to feel like they're in control while carving up mountain passes.

To help shore up its bona fides as a "driver's car" the low-slung concept offers drivers the choice between all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive. The turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid powertrain outputs 600 horsepower and has a top speed of 186 miles an hour. You know, just in case the carpool lane ever gets supercharged..." Read more

B. hambrick, June 26, " We formally launched the Open Autonomy Pilot at the beginning of June in downtown Peoria, Illinois, with the help of Mayor Jim Ardis and a host of other community-minded folks from the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce.

Our automated research and development vehicles are now circulating on a defined route through downtown to gather data and test software with the goal of refining the autonomous capabilities for partners and other research and development organizations. ..." Read more

C. Barnden, June 24, "Mass-market car OEMs are heading for extinction, right? We all know that they will be killed by Tesla and robo-taxi companies like Cruise, Uber and Waymo, who are just quarters away from deploying perfect "self-driving" technology — aren't they? Let's take a look at the 2018 production volumes for an indication of where the power really lies here:

Tesla: about 250,000

Robo-taxis: 0

Traditional mass-market car OEMs: about 95 million

Does anyone seriously believe the traditional OEMs will supply robo-taxi companies in sufficient quantity to bring about their own demise? No, me neither.

The threat from Tesla and mobility startups has been massively overstated these last five years — media hype and ambitious timescales cannot disguise the fact that "self-driving" technology remains firmly in the R&D phase and is nowhere close to commercial deployment...." Read more

Recent Highlights of:

June 21, 2019

Lexus Moves One Step Closer to a World Without Crashes (Lexus may have pulled the press release???) Press Release, June 19, "...Collisions that result in injury can often be caused by a delay in a driver's recognition of the situation and his or her ability to react accordingly.

In a move to help prevent such accidents before they happen, the Lexus Safety System+ will be a standard feature in all US Lexus vehicles starting with the 2020 model year. "We are working toward preventing crashes before they happen," said David Christ, group vice president and general manager, Lexus Division." That's why we have developed some of the most advanced safety features on the road today, and now those systems will be standard equipment on every model we sell. ..Nice!...

Designed to help protect drivers, passengers and pedestrians, the Lexus Safety System+ is an integrated suite of four advanced active safety packages anchored by automated pre-collision warning and braking. They include:

Pre-Collison System with Pedestrian Detection

This system is engineered to help detect a preceding vehicle or a pedestrian ... why not also a stationary fire truck, or a car stopped at a controlled intersection, or a brick wall, or...??? NotGoodEnough!... Below see Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: The ADAS Road to AV Reality - #SmartDrivingCar... in front of the Lexus under certain conditions . Should the system detect a pedestrian or a potential frontal collision, it's designed to activate an audible and visual alert while automatically preparing Brake Assist for increased braking response... why not also begin immediately to brake and slow down ? (Hint..."not sure" is not the right answer.) If the situation is sufficient for you to alert the driver why isn't it good enough to immediately start to reduce the speed of the car. Worse case is that you added a couple of seconds to the trip. The driver can always override the brakes by pushing harder on the gas pedal if the driver insists on tailgating or is committing suicide or ???. NotGoodEnough!.... If the driver does not brake in time,... are you kidding?? You knew a crash was impending, and you waited until it was too late??? NotGoodEnough!... the system is designed to automatically begin braking before impact... and then you'll slam on the brakes??? NotGoodEnough!... and, in some cases... Not most/many cases; just some cases??? NotGoodEnough!..., can even bring the vehicle to a stop

Lane Departure Alert ...OK, but not Lane Centering...
Intelligent High Beams ... Great...
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

This system uses radar and camera technology to help maintain a preset speed and following distance from the vehicle ahead. If driving at highway speeds and the road ahead clears, the vehicle returns to its preset speed. .... Great, but a couple of questions... 1. If the system is on and I tap the brakes, does the system turn off just the acceleration function because it understands that I tapped the brakes because I felt that I was going too fast so the system should not override my explicit signal. Nice!! However, does it also assume that I really know what I'm doing? Consequently, it also turns off the brake function even in situations in which I am not applying enough brake forces and a crash is imminent? Does it again wait until it is too late and and refuse to help me in those critical moments? Then you'll slam on the NotGoodEnough! (Note... my S Anti-lock Braking ystem explicitly overrides the way that I'm applying the brakes and keeps me from doing the wrong thing. Thank you ABS! What makes the AEB situation different when the system knows better and could really help me in an as critical situation?

2. What happens if the system is on and I'm following a car at my preset distance going 10 mph under my desired speed. The car ahead changes lanes because she sees that a parked fire truck is in our lane ahead. Once her car clears my lane ahead, does the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system take into account the existence of the parked firetruck ahead and brings me to a smooth stop before hitting the Firetruck? Or, does the system begin to accelerate to my desired speed and simply leave it to the Pre-Collison System with Pedestrian Detection system to try to "save the day" after it is too late?........"

But the reality is that Waymo will need help from automakers to scale up rapidly. As more and more automakers commit to Waymo's rivals, Waymo risks becoming stranded—with industry-leading sensors and software but limited capacity to integrate the technology into a large number of vehicles...."

Making Smart Vehicles to Improve the Human Condition K. Pyle, May 17, "3.5 million and 5+ million deaths per year are a couple of the statistics that stood out from the 2+ day, 3rd annual SmartDrivingCars Summit at Princeton. There are approximately 3.5 million individuals in the United States who never leave their homes and approximately 1.9M of those people have disabilities, according to Robbie Diamond, President & CEO of SAFE. He went on to say that, "Transportation is the biggest predictor of inter-generational upward mobility."

His comments echoed the conference theme of improving mobility for all people, especially the mobility marginalized, to paraphrase Professor Alain Kornhauser. Kornhauser brought together participants from multiple disciplines and backgrounds to an event that is like no other. This year, he introduced a research element where there were a couple different opportunities to gauge the reactions of everyday people of varying abilities to various levels of autonomous vehicles...."

10 Lessons From Uber's Fatal Self-Driving Car Crash

A. Kornhauser, March 13, "The following testimony was provided to the New Jersey State Assembly's Transportation and Independent Authorities Committee on Monday, March 11....

What we need, what my ask is, that we create in New Jersey a "welcoming environment" for the research, testing and demonstration of this technology and work to focusing it on improving the mobility of the mobility disadvantaged...

While such a demonstration is not prohibited in New Jersey, it is not permitted.

Consequently, this provides excuses and hurdles to bringing such mobility to our communities and tarnishes any other welcoming efforts aimed at enabling New Jersey to lead instead of follow in what may well address the fundamental objective of this hearing." Read more

Market Framework and Outlook for Automated Vehicle Systems R. Mudge, A. Kornhauser, M. Hardison, Nov, 2018 "The surface transportation industry is in the early stages of a series of profound changes, stimulated by the development of increasingly sophisticated driving safety and automation technologies. Considerable uncertainty exists regarding the speed with which these changes will take place and the nature of their impacts on safety, the overall demand for travel, vehicle sales, and vehicle ownership. This report does not attempt to forecast the pace of these changes, instead advancing a list of "trigger points" that might serve as leading indicators of change....

What might these changes mean for actuaries and the insurance industry? Since Driverless vehicles will most likely be available only to fleet operators and not the general public, their actuarial and insurance implication will differ substantially from the implications of Safe and Self technologies that will be on vehicles purchased by consumers. But, will these vehicles continue to be insured in the same way as personal vehicles are today or will this practice change in some way. For example, if the burden of

liability shifts to the technology rather than the driver, then should actuaries focus on product liability rather than personal liability? To what extent does technology rather than personal behavior or demographics become the important link to liability? " Read more
