We were promised self-driving cars, but what we got were delays. In 2016, Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised<\/a> drivers a car that could drive \u201chands-free\u201d from New York to Los Angeles within a year. That same year, Carlos Ghosn, the former executive leading Renault, Nissan, and Mitsubishi Motors, promised<\/a> self-driving cars by the end of the decade. Lyft co-founder John Zimmer predicted<\/a> most Lyft rides would be AVs as early as 2021 and private car ownership would be phased out of major US cities. Ford Motor CEO Mark Fields told CNBC<\/a> in 2017 that self-driving vehicles with \u201cno gas pedal, no steering wheel, and the passenger will never need to take control of the vehicle in a predefined area\u201d would hit the streets by 2021.<\/p>\n

In 2019, it\u2019s clear that none of this is happening on schedule. <\/p>\n

Autonomy, alongside electrification, promises to be one of the most profound changes to human mobility since the advent of the automobile. Legacy automakers are racing to transform themselves from metal benders to suppliers of mobility \u201cservices\u201d as the world begins to shift away from personal car ownership. Silicon Valley companies are trying to replace the incumbent automakers by developing the technology faster than rivals in Detroit.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
