Business Insider produced the above chart based on a poll of 500 founders from NYC VC firm, First Round Capital. Maybe driverless cars (and trucks) are still underhyped because the changes they would generate are just so profound that it is just hard to overhype the technology.
Here is transportation expert David Levinson:
If the future of transportation does not involve more information technology and more automation, I will be both disappointed and surprised. But the exact shape of what comes next is hard to say. In the 1980s, we had a vision of a future of telecommunications and information that was something like what the Internet came to be, all the world’s information at your fingertips. But few foresaw that it would be supported by online advertising. The idea that a collaboratively-built online encyclopedia would displace Britannica and be one of the world’s biggest websites, or that an online bookstore (a bookstore!) would become the world’s largest online retailer, were all unpredicted and unpredictable. So it is with transportation in the early twenty-first century.
