Jobs & Opportunities in the Driver-less Vehicles space.

2018 is going to be a very important milestone in the History of mankind. It will be remembered as the year that paved way for the most important technological change for the upcoming hundreds of years. Experts say that we are amidst & witnessing one the biggest revolution ie. Driver-less Vehicles becoming a reality. What we have been seeing in the Sci-Fi movies is becoming a reality.

” Autonomous cars is the biggest technological revolution happening, since the invention of Automobile. Only once in a 100 years does such a tectonic shift happens! “

When such an un-imaginable shift happens: Many new industries get created – many gets destroyed. Thousands of self-made Millionaires shoot out of no-where ( remember how the dotCom boom created a few thousand Millionaires ). Un-imaginable opportunities get created, for people to cling on to and carve out a fascinating new career.
Automobile giants like Fiat, Ford, Volkswagen, GM, Honda, Volvo, BMW etc. are opening their heavy wallets wide and spending the trillions of dollars hey have saved for the past several decades.
But Why?
Because they are scared!  Remember the time when the iPhone was launched? Those companies that ignored this revolution just disappeared in the next 5 years ( Nokia, BlackBerry etc. ). Rest is history.




Well, History is repeating itself again. But this time in the Automobile sector. With Tesla, Google etc. going bullish on converting the existing vehicles to complete Driver-less mode. This technological change that is converting the Automobile space is very disturbing to legacy Auto giants like Chrysler, Toyota, Renault, Hyundai, Nissan, Ford etc. They know that if they fail to have a hand in this change, they will become obsolete in a few years. Tesla is already giving these companies a run for their money.
Driver-less cars opportunities
We can speak for days on this. But lets get back to our original Topic ie. Opportunities in the  Autonomous vehicle space.
Why is this considered such a BIG opportunity?
In the last few years, we have heard many speak about AI ( Artificial Intelligence ), IOT ( Internet of Things ), Machine Learning, Robotics, Data Science, Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, Block Chain, Embedded etc. But have you seen any of these take a real shape or implementation in the real world? ie. Have you seen a scalable commercial use of these in your day-to-day life? … well NO 🙂
Experts see that all the above are getting combined and used together for the first time in Autonomous Vehicles. Yes, a Driver-less car is the first true commercially usable Robot that will use all the above complex technologies.. on which we will soon lay our hands on!
Which means that there will be millions of Jobs getting created soon in the above verticals. Those who understand this impact and opportunity will see a sharp hockey stick growth in the coming years.

Did you know? Nearly all the MNC’s involved in software development and consultancy like Infosys, Wipro, TCS etc. are going bullish on developing their competency around these verticals. They are investing heavily in developing products and teams around these next generation technologies. Experts predict Billions of Dollars worth projects getting outsourced from Automobile companies.

So, what are the areas we can expect more opportunities:
