Autonomous vehicles have already started taking share within ride-sharing and trucking industries this year, and Goldman Sachs believes the penetration will only accelerate moving forward.<\/p>\n

According to its analyst Mark Delaney, it has already been well established that self-driving tech works, and \u201cthe key focus for investors is now on the pace at which AVs will grow and how big the market will become.\u201d<\/p>\n

Melaney\u2019s current estimate sees autonomous vehicles making up 8% of the US ride-share market by the end of this decade as commercial operations continue to expand to dozens of new cities.<\/p>\n

For those interested in gaining exposure to the expected rapid growth in autonomous vehicles<\/a> in the years ahead, Goldman Sachs recommends owning the following three stocks.<\/p>\n

Lyft Inc (NYSE: LYFT)<\/h2>\n

Goldman Sachs believes AV-related risks to ride-sharing companies like Lyft are overblown and fully baked into the stock prices already.<\/p>\n

In fact, the investment firm is convinced that LYFT will \u201ccontinue to enter into partnerships<\/a>\u201d to eventually play a central role in generating demand for autonomous vehicles. <\/p>\n

Mark Delaney currently rates Lyft stock at \u201cbuy\u201d. His $20 price target on the ride-hailing company indicates potential upside of nearly 40% from current levels.<\/p>\n

Note that Lyft Inc. recently increased its total share repurchase authorisation to $750 million, which makes up for an additional reason to own it in the back half of 2025.<\/p>\n

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL)<\/h2>\n

Google-parent Alphabet is an exciting means to play self-driving, particularly because it has already produced palpable results for investors in the AV market. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Waymo currently leads the US autonomous vehicles market, averaging as many as a quarter-million rides per week according to its most recent update.<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs currently has a \u201cbuy\u201d rating on GOOGL stock with a price target of $220, signaling potential upside of well over 25% from current levels.<\/p>\n

A dividend yield of 0.48% tied to Alphabet shares at writing makes them even more exciting to own in 2025.<\/p>\n

TE Connectivity Plc (NYSE: TEL)<\/h2>\n

Goldman Sachs sees \u201cincremental content opportunities\u201d in this Galway-headquartered firm since high-speed connectivity is paramount to partially as well as fully autonomous vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that connectors for data connectivity make up about 10% of the total connector value per vehicle, and represent an attractive growth opportunity,\u201d Mark Delaney told clients in his most recent research note.<\/p>\n

The investment firm currently rates TE Connectivity shares at \u201cbuy\u201d. Delaney has a price target of $184 on the NYSE-listed firm that indicates potential for another 13% gain from here. \u00a0<\/p>\n

TEL stock is worth owning to play the AV space also because they pay a healthy dividend yield of 1.73% at the time of writing, which makes them even more attractive to own for income investors.<\/p>\n
