It wasn\u2019t too long ago, when the idea of an autonomous vehicle (AV), was in the same category as warp speed and hyperdrives.<\/p>\n
Today, we\u2019re certainly on track for the next step in automotive technology, speeding towards self-driving vehicles. With countries like England, France and China, eliminating the production of combustion engines by 2040<\/a>, the foundations are being laid for autonomous driving (AD). The latest electric vehicles (EVs) already include advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS<\/a>) with semi-autonomous cruise control features. The race is on to be the first to provide autonomous driving (AD) features as a basic standard.<\/p>\n Companies investing over $1 billion<\/a> in R&D in autonomous technology include Ford, Toyota, GM and Hyundai, highlighting the scale of interest from OEMs around the world.<\/p>\n But are the public ready for it?<\/p>\n
