According to Henrik Christensen, kids that are born today will be not be driving cars in the future. The Director of the Contextual Robotics Institute at UC San Diego notes that vehicle automation is just 10-15 years away.
In the past, the surging trend for eco-vehicles has pushed car manufacturers to invest in the future of driving. Tesla and other car companies have unveiled distinct vehicles that changed the landscape for eco-friendly cars.
Tesla's Model 3, Model S, and Model X vehicles are starting to get the public's attention. The Toyota Prius and the Nissan Leaf are not far behind.

Car tech supplier Delphi has also provided information about its self-driving demonstration for CES. An Audi SQ5 will be rigged with Delphi sensors to show participants how car automation works.
One of the highlights of Delphi's exhibition features a tunnel drive where a GPS signal fails. The company will also showcase its new partnership with Mobileye.
Despite Infiniti's absence for CES 2017, the car company has recently unveiled the Infiniti QX50. Although it's not an electric vehicle, the SUV features autonomous driving capabilities and a new variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engine.
Details for the Infiniti QX50 will be discussed more for the upcoming Detroit Motor Show on January 8. Although the companies are pushing Autopilot capabilities to its max potential, they have always reminded consumers that it's still important to concentrate your attention behind the wheel.
