Self-driving cars aren’t science fiction anymore. From self-driving technology in the latest electric vehicles to fleets of taxis you can order from your phone, the autonomous vehicle revolution is just getting started.

But how will the public react as self-driving cars become more of an everyday part of our bustling cities? Automakers and city leaders across the country are balancing how to encourage adoption without compromising safety as they prepare communities for the ripple effects of autonomy — from infrastructure to human behavior.

Business Insider has invited two experts in the field — James Philbin, Rivian’s Head of Autonomy, and Charlie Tyson, the Technology Activation Director of Michigan’s Office of Future Mobility & Electrification — to discuss where autonomous vehicles are heading next.

Join Business Insider Chief News Editor Steve Russolillo as Philbin and Tyson share how to build trust in self-driving cars, measure readiness for pilot programs, and teach their machines to deal with something human drivers face all the time: bad weather.
