  3. Islands of Autonomy - The New Transportation Ecosystem »

Across the world, a trillion-dollar market is swiftly developing around a new and disruptive transportation mode: driverless vehicles coupled with mobility services. This will be as transformative as smartphones and personal computers- customers will flock to this new transportation mode, changing forever their relationship to cars and transportation.
