A new report predicts that more than half of all vehicles produced by 2024 will have some level of automation, ranging from Levels 1-5.

In its Worldwide Autonomous Vehicle Forecast report, International Data Corporation forecasts that there will be 54.2 million vehicles with Level 1 autonomy in 2024, up from 31.4 million in 2019. This represents a compound growth rate of 11.5%.

Talent is a major issue for most organisations. Data scientists and software engineers aren’t the only high-demand personnel. Companies also need people who combine business skills with an understanding of AI. Companies that are moving toward AI-centric innovation processes must consider how the transformation will affect their staffing in terms of skill shortages, job elimination, or both.
