Almost a week passes without some announcement from automakers, suppliers – even ride-hailing services – about the impending arrival of self-driving cars.

But, we couldn't help but obse...

The original suit was never served on FCA and an amended complaint was filed in March. FCA denied the allegations in the suit. U.S. D...
