Just saw this from LinkedIn. Kevin Ashton, the man who invented the expression ‘Internet of Things,’ foresees that by 2030, self-driving cars will be the norm.
Self driving cars being the norm in 15 years is not so surprising given that self driving cars from Tesla, Google, and Apple are already testing their own prototypes. In an FT article, Tesla has promised self-driving cars by 2018, Nissan has promised self-driving cars by 2020. Traditional car companies like Toyota, Volvo, and Continental also have experimented with self driving cars. Not to mention a bunch of startups like Auro Robotics, and countless more. Given the nature of competition in a free, open and technology-driven market, it is quite conceivable that self driving cars will be the norm in 15 years.
Its not flying cars, but it will do. For now.
(Btdubs, who is this Kevin Ashton and why have I not heard of him before?)
