6th place: Autonomous driving. Cars that drive fully or partially autonomously could save up to 150,000 lives by avoiding accidents. New sensor technologies, GPS systems and M2M communication make this progress possible. Computer systems could be used to regulate the flow of traffic and goods transportation much more efficiently. The technologies are even suitable for autonomous aircraft or ships. In twelve years, the global potential is between 0.2 and 1.9 trillion US dollars.
