The global chief of the the Renault Nissan Alliance, Carlos Ghosn, has told reporters in Sydney this week that self-driving vehicles are likely to become commonplace in as little as five years.
Ghosn described those vehicles capable of advanced self-driving features will have a "huge advantage" over rival models that lacked autonomous functionality.
"By 2022 most of the cars are going to have some kind of autonomy and some kind of connectivity," Ghosn claimed.
"We're going to go much further, we're going to have big screens, video conferencing... a much bigger level.”
"In the next five years most of the cars which will be on the street will have some capacity for autonomy."
The Renault Nissan Alliance, which also includes luxury brand Infiniti and Japanese automaker Mitsubishi, has been testing self-driving tech in Infiniti luxury models that will allow the brand to match the autonomous plans of prestige rivals including Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Tesla.
