The issue focused on self-driving cars. But technology issues were also brought up.

That question was asked by software engineer Andrew Hoogewerf, who works at IBM's Watson Research Center in Berlin. He didn't say how he came to this conclusion, but IBM put out a statement saying that IBM has been working with computer scientists and engineers for years to better understand machine learning. "This work," the statement said, "has helped IBM improve machine learning algorithms and predict systems performance more accurately."
