A Half-Century History of Self-Driving Cars: From Japan to Waymo Robotaxi

Self-driving cars are decades of global engineering, not a single Silicon Valley breakthrough.

The article reframes autonomous driving as a long international evolution rather than a Silicon Valley invention. Japan and Germany laid early foundations in the 1970s through experimental vehicle research. DARPA competitions later accelerated the field in the U.S., before Silicon Valley companies commercialized the accumulated work, with Waymo Robotaxi standing as a modern example.
