approach driving, the basic
concept hasn't changed much
in the past 100 years. Get behind the
wheel, press the accelerator to go, hit the

more complex: Transportation. The way
we commute is getting the Internet of
Things (IoT) treatment. But there are a
lot more details, more players and more
hurdles. There's also an element of safety
on which no one is willing to compromise.
