Driverless car revolution about to move into top gear

Amongst the business headlines of 2017, the prospect of driverless cars has been a dominant feature, with its promise of an automotive revolution reaching far beyond the most efficient means of getting from A to B.

The ‘self-driving revolution’ is no longer a far-off technological notion, with many manufacturers aiming to have autonomous vehicles in the marketplace within the next four years.

Earlier this year, Ford announced an investment of $1billion (€857m) in robotics company, Argo AI, to have a fleet of self-driving cars by 2021.
