SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (2014) noted that Self-driving cars (SDC) that include driver control are expected to hit highways around the globe before 2025 and self-driving “only” cars are anticipated around 2030. According to the study, “Emerging Technologies: Autonomous Cars—Not If, But When,” the forecasts for the total worldwide sales of self-driving cars will grow from nearly 230 thousand in 2025 to 11.8M in 2035. The long-term opportunities are very large as nearly all autos in use are likely to become self-driving commercial vehicles after
