After Cruise Ban, What???s Next for Autonomous Vehicles?

Fully autonomous vehicles encountered another roadblock after Cruise’s ban in San Francisco. Here’s what that could mean for the future of AVs and a potential path forward. California Department of Motor Vehicles suspended Cruise’s permit to operate stating that its vehicles weren’t safe for public operation and that the company had misrepresented safety information. Days after the California ruling, Cruise announced its fleets in other U.S. cities would now be operated with human oversight. This follows a troubling trend regarding autonomous vehicles. But for every autonomous vehicle death, there are thousands more caused by our driving behaviors. The reality is that by changing our mindset about the development and oversight of driverless cars, we can dramatically reduce the overall number of deaths caused by traffic accidents.

The Atlanta Falcons are riding high after a statement of a Week 7 victory over the San Francisco 49ers where they ended San Francisco's perfect season and spoiled Raheem Morris' return to Atlanta--and speaking of Morris, he isn't familiar with many of the players on this roster anymore. Through seven weeks, many of the offseason acquisitions Ian Cunningham brought in are paying dividends as the Falcons are sitting at 3-4 and in striking distance in the NFC South. He continues to distance himself from Morris and the past regime as he let several "Fontenot guys" leave last spring. Atlanta's lack of cap space saw them let players such as Kaden Elliss, Tyler Allgeier, and Dee Alford walk in free agency, while Kirk Cousins and Darnell Mooney were among the players released by the new regime, which saw Cunningham turn to the bargain bin to successfully replace many of them. So while the…
