The hype around driverless cars came crashing down in 2018; Ars Technica, December 30, 2018

Timothy B. Lee, Ars Technica; The hype around driverless cars came crashing down in 2018

"In the self-driving world, there's been a lot of discussion recently about the hype cycle, a model for new technologies that was developed by the Gartner consulting firm. In this model, new technologies reach a "peak of inflated expectations" (think the Internet circa 1999) before falling into a "trough of disillusionment." It's only after these initial overreactions—first too optimistic, then too pessimistic—that public perceptions start to line up with reality."
