2024
8 predictions- Feb 23, 2024Too early to tell.“ARK anticipates that if robotaxi platforms flourish, EVs could account for 95–100% of all vehicle sales in 2030.”
Filed for tracking. Outcome to be evaluated as the timeline plays out.

- Feb 23, 2024Too early to tell.“Assuming there will be a 4.5x increase in worker productivity through 2030, and that the vendors of AI software can capture 10% of the value their software generates, ARK estimates the total addressable market of AI applications will be $13trn in 2030.”

- Feb 23, 2024Too early to tell.“the costs of training AI models are expected to fall by as much as 75% annually through 2030.”
Filed for tracking. Outcome to be evaluated as the timeline plays out.
- Feb 23, 2024Too early to tell.“AI training performance will increase 5x in 2024, thanks to the effects of Moore’s Law ..., as well as the fact that Nvidia has previously outperformed the gains predicted by Moore’s Law, and algorithmic optimisations such as Chinchilla Optimal Scaling.”

- Feb 23, 2024Too early to tell.“Robotaxi platforms — the convergence point of EVs, AI and robotics — could generate $28trn in enterprise value over the next five to 10 years.”

- Feb 23, 2024Too early to tell.“Demand for EVs is on the rise, scaling at 33% per year between 2023 and 2030 according to ARK’s estimates, suggesting sales could grow from 10 million to 74 million during that time.”

2018
2 predictions- Jan 1, 2018Partially right.“…the demand for EVs should be orders of magnitude higher than current forecasts.”
Global EV sales increased significantly from ~2 million in 2018 to ~18 million in 2025 (a 9x increase), exceeding many pre-2018 forecasts. However, the 'orders of magnitude' claim (implying a 10x+ increase) has not been fully met, with EV penetration at about 20% of new car sales by 2025, rather than a more rapid acceleration.
- Jan 1, 2018Partially right.“ARK believes autonomous platform providers will be roughly 9 times more valuable than the automakers. Likely candidates are Baidu, Alphabet, and Tesla.”
As of early 2026, the combined market cap of Tesla, Alphabet, and Baidu (acting as platform providers) outvalues major automakers by approximately 4-5x, not the predicted 9x. Full Level 5 autonomy is still primarily in pilot phases.
