The Detroit Bureau reports on a new study by Britain’s Juniper Research, which predicts that as many as 20 million autonomous vehicles will be driving on roads around the globe by 2025. However, the study stresses that in 2025, autonomous vehicles will represent less than 1% of the vehicles in use around the world, which raises some concerns. The article says that during the Connected Car Expo last month, several “speakers raised concerns about the challenges of integrating autonomous vehicles, programmed to strictly obey the rules of the road, with cars driven by humans.” The report later mentions that NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind believes autonomous vehicle technology “could help lead to an era of near-zero traffic deaths.”
