Infographic: Are consumers ready for driverless cars and AI?

Driverless car technology has been one of the most anticipated disruptions of a major global industry. Beginning with Google in 2010, the field has expanded to include other tech companies and auto manufacturers, including Uber, Lyft, Tesla, and General Motors. With so many companies jostling to be among the first to integrate artificial intelligence into the world's billion-plus automobiles, the speed with which the wider industry is expected to adopt these cutting edge technologies is impressive. By 2021, sales of connected car technologies are predicted to triple to almost 180 billion. It is not difficult to see why the driverless car industry shows such promise. The anticipated benefits of the technology are numerous, including fewer road accidents, reduced congestion, cheaper public transportation, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
