Britt Spencer Finding the product-market fit for any new technology always involves trial and error: autonomous driving has so far has swallowed an estimated $50 billion in investment with relatively little to show in return. In 2021 we will see autonomous driving finally find its fit â and itâs not in personal travel. Billed as the first everyday consumer application of AI, self-driving has simultaneously inspired its champions and proved a worry for its investors. Aiming high in terms of functionality has delivered plenty of exciting business cases, but the science and engineering problems they entail are not easily soluble.

Over 77 countries and more than 100 of the world’s biggest cities have committed to achieving net-zero emissions. Globally, transport is one of the largest sources of CO2 and other greenhouse-gas emissions. Governments have imposed future bans on the sale of petrol and diesel-powered vehicles, incentivising more electric-vehicle purchases and taxing the m ....
