The future of driving will be... hands-free. Driverless cars are the way to go, and there will be 12 million of these vehicles by 2035.

LOS ANGELES: When cars exit the tunnel of the next 15 years, they'll be like giant smartphones. 

Their sensors will capture sight, sound and motion and transmit the information to the Internet quickly and affordably. The US$100bil (RM440.88bil) app economy built on data from smartphones would look small compared with the US$750bil (RM3.30tril) in revenue produced around cars.
