The promise of autonomous vehicles is great.

It's a no-brainer for me that at some point our cars will have the ability to drive themselves.

Driverless cars are coming to your street - the only question is, 'When?'

My opinion is it's a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous cars.

Eventually, all cars are going to be autonomous.

I'm a firm believer that autonomous driving is coming.

I think it's very clear now that we will have self-driving cars.

The energy that's going into autonomous vehicles is very significant, and we expect to continue to invest there.

Singapore is likely to be the world's first market for self-driving cars. Commercial services around self-driving vehicles will likely be in Singapore before they are anywhere else in the world.

We hope to get to the place where there are thousands of Peugeot cars on the road running nuTonomy software.

The Jetsons had them in the 1960s. They were the defining element of 'Knight Rider' in the 1980s: cars that drive themselves. Self-driving cars appear in countless science fiction movies.
