i Next: BMW, Mobileye, Intel teams up to create reliable autonomous vehicle

Israeli Mobileye are joining forces with BMW and Intel to make reliable self-driving cars and make future mobility concepts a reality by 2021.

“The future of automated driving promises to change lives and societies for the better. The complex world of fully autonomous will require the solutions bu the world’s best organisations to integrate intelligence across the network, from door locks to the data centre and adapt rapidly evolving technologies, and prepare for disruptive opportunities.” BMW’s iNext will have the very best of autonomous driving strategy and set the basis for fleets of fully autonomous on our highways and urban environments, including ridesharing solutions.
