Chris Urmson, director of self-driving cars at Google, said at the Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) conference 2015 on Tuesday that although his 11-year-old son would be able to drive in 2020, his team members “are committed to making sure that doesn’t happen.” Urmson was one of the high profile speakers at the TED 2015 conference. He has risen to become an important figure in the automobile industry with his refusal of the traditional concept of driving.
