VW CEO sees widespread autonomous driving within 25 years
By REUTERS | 17 February 2022WOLFSBURG: Volkswagen chief executive Herbert Diess expects the car industry to see widespread autonomous driving within 25 years, the manager said on Wednesday in a question-and-answer session on the social media platform Reddit.
Diess also said Volkswagen was pursuing further partnerships to increase its self-sufficiency in software and adding such features as brand-specific voice assistants to its cars.
He added VW was working on an I.D. Space Vizzion sedan and a SUV variant for the North American market as well as new ideas for its I.D. 3 Cabriolet.
When asked if Volkswagen would make an electric pickup like Ford's F-150 Lighting, he said this is a "good idea".
