What happened
Videos out of China show electric scooters riding themselves through live traffic — no human on board, no remote control. They balance, steer, and navigate on their own. It sounds like a novelty, but it's real and it's happening on public streets right now.
Why it matters
The context behind the story.
We've been talking about self-driving cars for years, but autonomy is quietly spreading to everything — scooters, delivery robots, and beyond. The question of what vehicles are allowed to share the road with people just got a lot more complicated, and the rules haven't caught up yet.
Takeaway
Self-driving cars were just the beginning. Now the scooters are driving themselves.
