Do self-driving cars have a future in Illinois?

Self-driving cars were once a vision of the future. Now, the company Waymo is hoping to put its autonomous rideshares on the streets of Illinois. A panel of experts including a journalist who has been covering this, an engineering professor, a lobbyist advocating for the rights of motorcyclists, and a representative from a trade group that represents technology companies join the program.

They weigh in on what's happening with self-driving cars in the state, how they work, and why some people have concerns with the technology.
