BOSTON, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Flying cars might not yet be mainstream, but as developments in the electric and autonomous vehicle industries are making progress globally, the future of driving is set to look very different.IDTechEx LogoThe convenience and ease of charging your vehicle from home means no petrol station stops, always setting off with a full battery, and no more guilt from generating large emissions with the combustion of fuel. Drivers can feel good knowing they are making a sustainable choice when doing everyday commutes, and the smooth driving experience enabled by having no gears to change is enough to make anyone want to pop out for a drive. As Tesla has gained dominance as a market leader within the electric vehicle industry in recent years, other companies will be doing all they can to keep up.But what if cars of the future could feel like an extension of the living room? Cars with autonomous qualities exist today, with hands-free steering wheels and advanced hazard perception. By 2030, completely autonomous vehicles could be making their way to people's homes, drastically changing the future of driving.Summoning an autonomous vehicle to precise locations will take whistling the dog to a whole new level, as cars will be able to respond to a demand and arrive exactly when and where they are told without needing a driver. This presents opportunities for even more emerging technology, such as types of quantum sensors known as atomic clocks, that use connection to satellites around the planet and latency calculations to position themselves in precise locations within just centimeters of accuracy.As autonomy develops in different stages, it will be increasingly possible to touch up makeup on the way to work, take a scenic lunch break with a book, or be driven to sleep
