Discussion keeps the world turning.
Imagine your car telling you, hey, sit back, relax, I've got this, and legally meaning it.
China has just opened the door to that reality,
granting its first licenses for conditional self-driving cars.
Why does this conditional freedom matter,
and what does it reveal about the bumpy road ahead for autonomy?
After that, how do you turn a nation?
into a nation of readers.
China isn't just recommending books, it's writing a new law.
So what does it mean to treat reading as essential public infrastructure?
We'll look at the plan to engineer a more book-friendly world.
We're live from our studios in Beijing.
This is Roundtable.
Hi there, I'm Steve.
Thanks very much for being with us today.
And for the show, I'm with Youshun and Fei-Fei.
First up...
China has moved autonomous driving from the testing phase to conditional real-world use,
clearing two level three passenger car models for operation on public roads in Beijing,
here in Beijing, and also in Chongqing.
