Everyone in the industry of cars of traditional automakers to technology companies like Apple, Google or Uber, predict that connectivity and automation is the next step for automobiles.
to this, Apple has hired several experts such as Megan McClain who worked as an engineer Volkswagen and has experience in the development of automated driving, and Vinay Palakkode who was a graduate researcher at the Carnegie Mellon University. Uber, on the other hand, opened a robotics center in Pittsburgh and hired researchers at Carnegie Mellon University as well. Apparently, Carnegie Mellon University is a hub of research of automated driving. Uber is reported to also work with the University of Arizona to build mapping technology that is used to complete a self driving car system.
