  • The way to get ahead of the game is not to necessarily have an always-on autonomous vehicle that is always connected but to have a means of allowing the vehicle to be self-reliant while allowing data and applications to be updated when a connection exists. With this approach the car when it is beyond the…

  • “We need data to understand who’s responsible in the event of an accident,” he replies. The second challenge in his opinion is related to the first one because with the development of autonomous driving there needs to be an evolution of the regulatory framework to answer the liability question. “In a number of countries most…
