""If you just dig into the old news, old papers, one airplane just invented by the Wright brothers-a crash of an airplane will make it to the headline anytime, even [if] nobody got injured,""
""It's just like that. It's our human civilization, history.""
""As entrepreneurs, as inventors, we should be really fearless enough,""
""We should be brave enough to push forward for innovation, because we live in the AI era. Think about our offspring, our kids. If we can make this a reality, they will appreciate us.""
Development of self-driving cars parallels early aviation, where iterative testing produced headline-making crashes during progress. Autonomous vehicles were involved in 3,979 incidents from 2019 to 2024, with about 10% resulting in injuries. The accident rate for autonomous vehicles was 9.1 per million miles, more than double the 4.1 rate for traditional cars in 2021. Approximately 1,500 autonomous vehicles operate commercially in the U.S., with projections to reach 35,000. The industry could generate $300–$400 billion in global revenue over the next decade. Companies like WeRide are expanding robotaxi services internationally and hold permits in multiple countries.
