Self-driving car

The future of vehicles is connectivity and autonomy; technological advances in mobility in the automotive sector will allow us to undergo a revolution in the way we get around or transport goods.

This type of vehicle is already a reality, and it has different levels of autonomy: from level 1, which offers basic driving assistance, to level 5, where the vehicle can go anywhere, based on the order given to its computerized switchboard, without the “driver” having to touch the steering wheel or step on the pedals.
