This document discusses research on automated, self-driving cars. It summarizes that by 2030, people will be able to purchase cars that are fully automated and drive themselves without any driver option. Vehicle designs will change and be made to adhere to certain speed limits depending on location, like cities versus rural areas. Highly automated cars could become dominant on the road sooner than expected. The document also includes assignments for developing a concept for an automated vehicle, including naming and logo design.
