CEO David Li recently warned that the road to fully self-driving cars will be far slower than many in the industry expect, citing significant societal and regulatory hurdles. He noted that public tolerance for fatal accidents involving self-driving cars remains near zero, far lower than the acceptance of traffic deaths caused by human drivers.
