The S&P Kensho Autonomous Vehicles Index is designed to measure the performance of companies focused on autonomous and connected vehicles.

A subsector index within the S&P Kensho New Economy Index Series, the S&P Kensho Autonomous Vehicles Index intends to represent companies leading the way forward toward autonomous transportation, whether directly through the development of autonomous vehicles themselves or as part of the ecosystem supporting these initiatives. Transportation is a key enabler of the economy. The growth of the "connected cars" market is expected to have far-reaching economic consequences, as it will transform how human and physical resources move about, affecting productivity, location decisions, health, and even personal finances and vehicle ownership.
