EP08: When Robots Drive — The Self-Driving Revolution's Second Act

The self-driving revolution didn't announce itself — it arrived quietly, one autonomous mile at a time. Waymo has logged 127 million driverless miles with 81% fewer crashes than human drivers. Aurora launched the first fully driverless freight trucks on US highways. China now operates 2,300 robotaxis across 30 cities. The second act of autonomous vehicles isn't about promises. It's about deployment — and the data showing that when robots drive, people stop dying.
