Drive.ai, another start-up in the burgeoning tech sector of autonomous self-driving cars raised an additional $50 million in funding for R&D following $12 million financed last year. The company with its group of about 70 computer scientists and engineers make kits for retrofitting cars currently on the streets, allowing it to be self-driven amongst the rest of us. Andrew Ng, one of the top AI researchers also joins the board of the company, who has previously stated that we shouldn’t worry of our robot overlords just our wallets. Take it as you will, Ng is married to co-founder and president of the company.

Check out a rainy night test drive of their tech.
