Driverless vehicles have the potential to transform society by making travel safer and more productive. They could reduce car accidents by 90% by removing human error. However, fully autonomous vehicles that require no human intervention may be over 10 years away due to complex driving scenarios and varied human needs. Regulations from groups like SAE and NHTSA will also impact the development of connected and autonomous vehicle technology.
