Audi Ranked As Leader In Autonomous Driving Technology - Google Not Even A Blip On The Radar

Audi ranks as one of the leaders in the industry movement toward autonomous driving in a new study by Navigant Research. Audi, Daimler, BMW and General Motors are leading all other automakers as they move toward the goal of producing self-driven vehicles in the next few years, the study found.

“Our approach looked at the overall strategy and execution to see who’s got the best history in this area as well as who’s got the most on the drawing board now and has made announcements about what is going to be launched in the next year or two,” David Alexander, London-based senior research analyst for the market research and consulting firm based in Boulder, Colorado.

Today’s Audi vehicles already demonstrate many of the advanced driver assistance technologies that form the building blocks of what we call “piloted” driving, including Audi active lane assist, adaptive cruise control, Audi side assist and Audi pre sense rear, which helps drivers change lanes safely.

Although I have not done this, I recommend following the money trail with respect to "Navigant Research", the guys who did this study, and see if any of it leads back to Audi. I'm not suggesting it does. I'm just saying that would be a good idea before believing the conclusions.

Personally, I don't believe autonomous cars are in my near future, so it doesn't matter to me who is alleged to be "the best."

Audi is the leader in innocuous styling, too.
