The AI behind self-driving cars could do with a boost. Although some developers are touting Level 5 autonomy "soon", it seems to have been that way for a while. In reality, Level 4 is about the most anyone has advanced to with a commercial product. That's good for set predetermined routes, but the promise of Level 5 is "door-to-door" autonomy.

This seems like quite a fundamental breakthrough. It's interesting to wonder when it will be first commercialized.
