BMW and Intel plan driverless car

BMW is teaming up with chipmaker Intel and camera-software company Mobileye to bring self-driving cars to the road by 2021, becoming the first major automaker to set a specific date to produce a fully autonomous vehicle.

The technology will be used in the iNext, set to supplant the 7-Series sedan as BMW’s flagship model, the company has said.

The iNext will be a basis for “fleets of fully autonomous vehicles” to cruise highways and also be available as robo-taxis in cities, BMW said.
