New research is predicting that self-driving vehicle technology will create more than 100,000 jobs in the next 10 years, including up to 30,000 for engineering graduates.

A combined research report from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Detroit Mobility Lab (DML) predicts that the demand for jobs in this industry may be higher than the number of graduates.

Researchers suggest the auto industry cultivates its workforce along with its technology, and engineers with a specific skillset will be needed. By 2030, more than 20% of cars will likely have a plug-in hybrid component or battery-powered electric engines, and more than 10% will be self-driving. The next group of engineers will need strong skills in artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics and data science, the report said. As these skills are expected to be in high demand but lower supply, a talent gap may come.

“Companies cannot delay defining what their workforce needs will be for the next few years so they can begin to plan accordingly. Those that delay could find it difficult to compete,” said Xavier Mosquet, the Detroit-based BCG senior partner who led the research, in a press release. “Jobs will also be created where talent is developed.”

Other technology like self-driving delivery trucks and drones could push the demand even higher, the research groups found. Mobility trends may also create jobs for non-engineers too. Jobs like remote-support staff for self-driving vehicles, safety drivers and electric vehicle mechanics will be needed as this technology proliferates.

While these advancements may eliminate some existing jobs, positions with different skills will take their place, the report said. Some staff may need retraining. Some large automotive manufacturers are already preparing for future automotive trends. Both Ford and General Motors have announced layoffs, but have acquired autonomous driving startups to further advance this technology.

Last year, Ford purchased Autonomic to make software for its self-driving cars. The auto giant is also working with the Transportation Mobility Cloud to develop an information-sharing platform for integrating these vehicles, traffic signals and other infrastructure. They’ve also acquired Transloc, which makes apps that pair with public transit systems. General Motors acquired Cruise Automation in 2016. The Silicon Valley-based Cruise Automation is most known for its aftermarket kit that converts certain vehicles into a self-driving model for highway travel.
