AI Revs Its Engines ....

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gone leaps and bounds in autonomous driving ... Uber has officially tried and tested their driverless cars in Toronto. Raquel Urtasun, computer science professor and Canada Research Chair at University of Toronto is leading the Uber team in a bright and new direction.

What does this mean for the future of jobs, taxis and Uber drivers? Some jobs may be reduced or even eliminated due to AI but other jobs will be created such as the UofT and Uber research and development teams programming machine learning logic to new products. 

I guess I can get rid of my GPS soon.... thanks Raquel, Uber, and the UofT team.

Get ready folks to rev your engines....this is the future!
