Because it's difficult

Part of Intel's attempt to re-engineer its business is getting into the self-driving business and now its Mobileye division said it has chosen Jerusalem to test its technology.

According to Professor Amnon Shashua, it has introduced the first phase of its 100-car fleet to see if the vehicles can cope with the “challenging and aggressive” traffic in the city.

The experiment will be followed by similar tests in the United States and elsewhere, said Shashua.

He claims that while the Intel-Mobileye experiment isn't the first to hit the tarmac, it is the most “efficient and effective”.

Why?
Because Mobileye wants to prove its system is 1,000 times safer than cars driven by people.
