Masayoshi Son Quotes

The promise of autonomous vehicles is great.

I have one of the self-driving Teslas; it drives itself periodically. It's a marvel of science, but it's still frightening. I think we've got a while before regulators and the general public wrap their heads around the path that will lead to the ubiquity of driverless cars. There's no doubt Uber will be a leader in that space.

Self-driving cars will enable car-sharing even in spread-out suburbs. A car will come to you just when you need it. And when you are done with it, the car will just drive away, so you won't even have to look for parking.

Eventually, all cars are going to be autonomous.

I'm not so keen on letting my car drive itself.

We hope to get to the place where there are thousands of Peugeot cars on the road running nuTonomy software.

Well, you can say there is a self driving car. I'm seeing the automation of vehicles. Really, computer-assisted driving. I think that is really interesting to us because we are taking all of the sensors technologies and putting them in cars and making people safer.

There's an evolution from, today we tell computers to do stuff for us, to where computers can actually do stuff for us. For example, if I go and pick up my kids, it would be good for my car to be aware that my kids have entered the car and change the music to something that's appropriate for them.

There is nothing that would prevent Fiat Chrysler from providing ride-sharing service to a wider community and using our dealer network for this.

What we like to say is that the vision for Uber is the cross between lifestyle and logistics.

No state in the U.S. expressly forbids autonomous driving.

Uber's issue, I think the biggest one is driverless cars. That could be a complete reset to the business.

We can't simply dismiss the idea that autonomous vehicles are going to be a big part of our transportation system.

The AI technology will keep you out of harm's way. That is why we believe in an AI car that drives for you.

A self-driving car will have 200-plus CPUs. That's a data center on wheels.

He's computerized, but I won't let him come on cold. I created KITT. I understand the personality of the car.

My opinion is it's a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous cars.

In the future, you'll simply jump into your car, turn on the Internet, turn on a movie and sit back and relax and turn on the automatic pilot, and the car will drive itself.

It's a no-brainer for me that at some point our cars will have the ability to drive themselves.

We're going to look back and wonder why we had to micro-control our cars.

The first autonomous cars date back to the late 20th century. But recent increases in sophistication and reductions in cost - reflected, for example, in cheap LIDAR systems, which can 'see' a street in 3D in a way similar to that of the human eye - are now bringing autonomous cars closer to the market.

I think that's where the world is going. People will not own cars; they'll have a service that takes them where they want to go, when they want to go there. And that's what Uber is.

I see incredible opportunities for transportation to benefit from rapidly advancing automation, connectivity, and information technologies.
