Autonomous driving has transcended far beyond being a crazy moonshot idea over the last half decade or so. It has quickly become one of the biggest technologies today that promises to shape our tomorrow, not very unlike when cars first came into existence. A big driver powering this change is the recent advances in software (Artificial Intelligence), hardware (GPUs, FPGAs etc.) and cloud computing, which have enabled ingest and processing of large amounts of data, making it possible for companies to push for levels 4 and 5 of autonomy. Achieving those levels of autonomy though, require training on hundreds of millions and sometimes hundreds of billions of miles worth of training data to demonstrate reliability, according to a [report](https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR1478.html) from RAND.
