Where Is the Auto Industry Headed?

Self-driving cars promise a profound change to our day-to-day experience of transportation, perhaps eliminating the scourge of congestion with clever algorithms or even turning the daily grind of the commute into a leisure hour. How this nascent technology evolves will also reshape the auto industry, pitting industrial stalwarts against tech-industry newcomers. Prof. Jeffrey Sonnenfeld spoke with former Ford CEO Mark Fields about what’s next for the car business.

10 million self-driving cars will be on the road by 2020

Self-driving cars are no longer a futuristic idea. Companies like Mercedes, BMW, and Tesla have already released, or are soon to release, self-driving features that give the car some ability to drive itself.

Tech companies are also trying to pioneer the self-driving car. Recently, Google announced that it would be testing its prototype of a driverless car on roads this summer in California. 

In an in-depth report from BI Intelligence, we analyze the self-driving car market by analyzing the current state of the self-driving car and provide an in-depth analysis for how we see the self-driving car progressing over the next five years. Our in-depth analysis describes the economic impact that self-driving cars can have and look at the current barriers preventing the self-driving car from coming to market.
