Memory chips have been a key ingredient in vehicles for decades. However, autonomous cars will rely on digital memory like never before. Micron is a leader in this space and is reporting rapid growth since automakers need more memory chips to enable self-driving and ADAS car capabilities.

In fact, Micron thinks self-driving cars will be its top growth driver in the next few years. In addition to vehicles, cloud computing -- used to train AI software and manage vehicle fleets -- is also propelling higher demand for Micron's memory chips. As a manufacturer, Micron is a highly cyclical semiconductor company historically prone to wild swings in sales and profits. However, there is massive expansion potential in the years ahead, thanks to self-driving technology.

Self-driving cars are a long-term trend

As with all emerging technologies, self-driving cars and related transportation tech will take many years to develop. Investing in individual stocks in the self-driving vehicle industry will be highly volatile, and there's no guarantee of success. Spread your bets across multiple companies and allow their growth story to play out over the long term as this industry rapidly changes and evolves.

Nevertheless, given the size of the global transportation sector and how integral mobility is to the economy, self-driving cars could be a massive secular growth trend. Consequently, this space is worth keeping tabs on.
