On 1 January 2018 Rodney Brooks published predictions about self driving cars, AI and machine learning, and the space industry.

True if a dated post on Brooks's blog (rodneybrooks.com), dated 1 January 2018, sets out predictions covering self-driving cars, AI and machine learning, and the space industry. Mostly true if the post exists with all three topics but is dated within a day or two of 1 January 2018. Mixed if it covers only some of the three topics. Mostly false if the predictions were published but at a clearly different date, e.g. a different month or year. False if no such prediction post by Brooks exists around that time.

Set before the research began.

   “It is the New Year and there will be many predictions about what will happen in the coming year. I am going to take this opportunity to make predictions myself”

2. E2 My Dated Predictions Rodney Brooks (rodneybrooks.com) · 1 January 2018 Own record

   “So here are my predictions about space travel. Not as optimistic as wish I could be. But, realistic, I think.”

3. E3 Our Robotic Future: The Next 11 Important Steps Newsweek (article by James Pethokoukis, AEI columnist) · 11 January 2018

   “In a recent blog post, Brooks made a number of predictions about these technologies, assigning a date to each forecast”

The evidence shows a Brooks post dated 2018-01-01 with New Year predictions, including a section on space travel [E1][E2]. No evidence item shows that the post covers self-driving cars or AI/ML, and the independent article [E3] does not name the topics or give the post's date. So the evidence does not settle the claim under the criteria.
