Drivers will not need a driving licence by 2040. At least that is what the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers believes.
It thinks autonomous cars capable of driving to any destination are set to become the norm. With an estimated 90% of current car accidents thought to be caused by human error, taking people out of the equation is seen by many car companies as a massive boost to safety.
