Autonomous driving technology will fundamentally transform the automotive industry, changing the way vehicles are built, operated, sold, used and serviced. Dozens of companies are already working on the sensors and other technologies required to enable these vehicles to know where they are and what is around them. More than 50 companies are building artificial intelligence (AI)-based software to make autonomous vehicles smart enough to communicate with their passengers, other vehicles and the cloud, while planning the best path for a safe, fast and entertaining journey.

Press announcements from players in the autonomous driving market often create the impression that it will all be available soon — that is, all the benefits of driving safety, improving the quality of lives, delivering economic benefits, revolutionizing transportation logistics and enabling smart city integration. However, while much of the autonomous vehicle technology appears to be developing quickly, virtually no commercially available vehicles have yet passed the required level 4 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for autonomous driving.
