The news starts with Mobileye’s efforts to build high-definition maps for autonomous cars, the latest automatic transmissions from General Motors and Ford. The discussion then veers off into George Hotz open-sourcing his Comma One hardware and software before tackling the latest prognostications from Ford futurist Sheryl Connelly. The show wraps up with some listener e-mail from Zack and Jonathan.</p> <p><a href="https://www.navigantresearch.com/blog/with-self-driving-cars-were-all-cartographers">With Self-Driving Cars, We’re All Cartographers</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.autonews.com/article/20161207/OEM02/161209884/fords-futurist-foreshadows-consumer-trends-to-watch-in-2017">Ford’s futurist foreshadows consumer trends to watch in 2017</a></p> <p><a href="https://social.ford.com/content/fordsocial/en/articles/ford-motor-company/predicting-the-future--the-2017-ford-trend-report.html?fmccmp=link-fordtrends-home-none-fs-art-none-161205">Here is the 2017 Ford Trends Report</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/30/13779336/comma-ai-autopilot-canceled-autonomous-car-software-free">George Hotz is giving away the code behind his self-driving car project</a></p> <p><a href="http://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2016/dec/1206-9speed.html">Chevrolet’s First 9-speed Auto Debuts in 2017 Malibu</a></p> <p> </p>
