According to Automotive World [1] , we've already begun introducing autonomous vehicles at a steady albeit extremely slow pace. In the United Kingdom, Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS) are being added to certain roads.  While the Tesla is nowhere near fully autonomous (as of now, May 2021), it has become a symbol for semi-autonomous driving.  Source:  Vlad Tchompalov on Unsplash While some of the "big players/tech companies" like Tesla, Google, and Apple are typically the most prominent, many of the more typical car manufacturers are also heavily invested in this technology.  Take Toyota for example - who is planning on building a "City for Self-Driving Cars" [2] . Planned for construction at the base of Mount Fuji, streets are planned to be split three ways. This allows for autono
