Abstract

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are a present-day reality as we approach year 2020. The ecosystem they create presents enormous investment opportunities in developing the fundamental technologies, defining the global standards, and creating new business platforms. By 2025, the projected societal value created by AVs is up to USD$1.9 trillion annually. This paper is a landscape study providing snapshots of the today’s reality and offering glimpses into tomorrow’s possibility.
