Sally by Isaac Asimov:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
Fascinating 1953 short story that details a visit to a kind of preserve for autonomous vehicles. I'm particularly interested because of the way that cars are being "trained" by watching millions of human behaviors using deep learning algorithms.
('Sally' by Isaac Asimov)
