PREPARING FOR THE DRIVERLESS DISRUPTION

It seems as if everyone is finally talking about driverless vehicles, or AVs (autonomous vehicles) as they are commonly called. Even Tyler Brule, who normally likes to recount some unsatisfactory business travel experience, devoted a recent FT column to the subject. We know it's coming; so what can we expect from the driverless revolution? The upside to commuters is massive. Global auto accident deaths, around 1.25 million annually, will be radically reduced. Our cities will not only be safer, they'll be cleaner too.
