LAS VEGAS, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Autonomous driving technology is expected ‌to dominate the CES trade show in Las Vegas this week as investors bet that artificial intelligence will invigorate an industry ‌beset by slow progress, high costs, safety incidents and regulatory scrutiny.

Partnerships and deals that promise to take away much of a driver's responsibilities, or remove the need for a human driver completely, are expected to be announced.
