Uri Levine predicts that children born now, known as Generation Beta, will never drive cars. He anticipates that within a decade, most paid mobility and transportation services will be fully autonomous, including logistics and public transportation. Levine compares this transition to past automation trends, like elevator operators. He emphasizes the dramatic impact this shift will have on urban areas, where drivers will be increasingly scarce. He also notes that the improvement of autonomous technology will depend on real-world user interaction and iterative enhancements.
"They will not drive," the Waze cofounder told Business Insider. "A generation after that, if you will tell them that you used to drive cars yourself, they will not believe you."
Levine said that a decade from now, most paid mobility and transportation services will be autonomous. That includes logistics, public transportation, and on-demand car services.
"The impact will be dramatic," Levine said, adding that urban areas will "barely see any drivers."
Levine said that when autonomous driving becomes more widespread, it will give rise to a safer and more efficient transportation ecosystem.
