There is a lot of buzz regarding the automobile industry, and the dominant goal for car manufacturers is to enhance drivers’ experiences. Engine optimization and alternative fuels have made progress toward their full potential; so the next step is creating self-driving vehicles. The first group to explore this idea was DARPA in the early 2000s. Since 2010, major technological advancements have been achieved. As crazy as it may sound, self-driving vehicles are being developed, and research funding has shifted toward this goal. The future is coming, and within the next decade, the first commercial prototypes are expected to be available for mass use.
