The trend towards autonomy may be near-universal, but the approaches to it are not, and whilst some OEMs are targeting the early 2020s, other have indicated a phased approach, with increasing degrees of autonomy from 2020 through to 2030. Now, however, some of the Tier 1s claim they can have the technology ready even sooner.
The pace of technological development is such that autonomous drive technology is inevitable. What happens with those cars, where we see them, who will operate them, where, and when – these are all questions that are yet to be answered.
