Summary In this episode of The Straight Shift, The Car Chick® explores the current state and future of autonomous driving technology. She discusses the various levels of vehicle autonomy, from manual driving to fully autonomous systems, and emphasizes the importance of understanding the legal responsibilities that come with these advancements.
