AI is the biggest platform shift of our lifetimes, says Pichai

NEW DELHI: Recounting a recent ride in a fully autonomous Waymo vehicle in San Francisco with his 83-year-old father, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the real test of progress is when such systems can operate on India’s roads.

“Back in my days in India, I couldn’t have imagined that one day I would spend time with teams building data centres in space… Seeing a Waymo ride past my dad’s house, I saw whole new progress. Of course, he said he’d be more impressed if it worked on India’s busy roads. Still working on that one, Dad,” he shared.
