Special Report

The self-driving car, or Autonomous Vehicle (AV), will have a profound impact on a variety of industries. However, expectations for the timeframe of commercial AV availability are too optimistic. The greatest near-term impact is likely to be from advanced safety technologies developed on the path to full autonomy. In today's Special Report, we discuss our expectations for the timeframe of AV development, and the effect of advanced safety technologies on the Insurance, Health Care, Semiconductors, and Automotive industries.

Equities are back in overshoot territory. We added the health care sector to our high-conviction overweight list, boosted managed care to overweight and put health care equipment on downgrade alert. Buy cable stocks.
