Intel's Stacy Smith on the Future of Autonomous Driving

The video discusses the transformative impact of autonomous vehicles, predicting a future where transportation becomes nearly free, altering how we consume information and perceive vehicle ownership. It highlights both opportunities and threats for companies, with potential industry disruptions. Adoption rates are expected to reach a tipping point by 2050, starting with high-end vehicles becoming more affordable. In the near term, millions of semi-autonomous cars will be on the road, eventually leading to fully autonomous vehicles without steering wheels, operating like pods. This evolution will unfold over the next 5 to 10 years.

In what ways do you envision the transition from semi-autonomous to fully autonomous vehicles occurring over the next decade?
