It was a complete breakthrough because if it works as good as it should; it is going to change driving forever. It is all because of Artificial Intellect (AI) and the way it works fueled by data sensors and powered by video analytics. And since we have, to be honest, it wasn’t started by Elon Musk but the automotive industry itself. It doesn’t matter if we talk about rain sensing wipers (Cadillac) or adaptive cruise control (Mitsubishi) or lane departure systems (Mercedes-Benz).
