Rise of patent applications for self-driving vehicles in Europe

Recent statistics reveal that innovation in self-driving vehicles (SDV) is accelerating fast and could signal the coming of a transport revolution. The number of European patent applications related to automated driving has grown 20 times faster than other technologies in recent years, a study published by the European Patent Office (EPO) finds.
From 2011 to 2017, patent applications at the EPO for automated driving increased by 330%, compared to 16% across all technologies in the same period.
Europe and US are leader in this sector.
