Self-driving pioneer foresees industry future with autonomous vehicles

Sebastian Thrun is considered to be one of the advanced thinkers of Silicon Valley. He invented Google Street View for Alphabet, Google’s parent, and wrote the first code for an autonomous car. The Alphabet startup Waymo, which is developing technology for automated driving, came out of that research.

Thrun, 51, who is German, is CEO of the flying-car startup Kitty Hawk. Foreign Policy magazine named him one of the 100 most influential thinkers in the world, ranking him fourth.
