The U.K. is leading the driverless car race, a new study says
Forget the race into space. The competition to be the first country to launch driverless cars has grabbed the attention of more nations than a new lunar landing.
The car makers are an obvious choice. The automotive giants with well-advanced AV programs are Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen’s Audi , and BMW ; Ford Motor and Tesla ; Tata Motors ’ Jaguar Land Rover; and Nissan Motor . But the sectors extend to a bunch of less obvious industries—think technology, telecoms, transport, infrastructure, insurance, and legal. Once driverless cars are built, the next two vital components are telecoms and power. AVs rely heavily on communications such as 4G and, eventually, 5G—the mobile connectivity that links them to the environment, such as intelligent traffic lights and road sensors.
