Here is an article on the "Race to Build Self Driving Cars Accelerates" Dave
Auto supplier Robert Bosch GmbH will build a 1 billion-euro ($1.1 billion) semiconductor plant, the biggest single investment in its history, as the maker of Brakes and Engines prepares for a surge in demand for components used in self-driving vehicles.
BUT deeply involved in the VW Scandal : While Bosch is focusing on technology and projects promising improved connectivity and cleaner city centers, the 130 year-old company has come under pressure about its alleged role in helping carmakers evade diesel emissions rules that have rocked the auto industry. Last month, Bosch was linked to emissions-cheating allegations against a fourth automaker, when it was named as co-defendant together with General Motors Co. in a lawsuit where owners of diesel-powered pickups accused the automaker of using illegal software.

This was also an interesting article - Dave
DRIVERLESS VEHICLES :
The UK government has vowed to make Britain a world leader in the development of driverless cars.
They are expected to be mainstream on Britain's roads by 2025, allowing people to read a book, eat a meal or watch a film whilst the car drives them around.
This means cars will have to be able to negotiate traffic lights, junctions and roundabouts and drivers will not need to touch their controls for the entire journey.

Articles on this subject have appeared in the Press here today - Mercedes-Benz owner Daimler and supplier Robert Bosch [ROBG.UL] are teaming up to develop self-driving cars in an alliance aimed at accelerating the production of "robo-taxis". The pact between the world's largest maker of premium cars and the world's largest automotive supplier forms a powerful counterweight to new auto industry players like ride-hailing firms Uber and Didi which are also working on self-driving cars - Dave

Here are just a couple more articles on .... - Dave
Are we ready for driverless cars? One thing the government is promising in the Budget is a change to the law to allow more driverless cars to be tested on Britain's roads.

Look, no hands! As ministers pour millions into self-driving cars, one of the few who's actually driven one says nothing filled him with more fear.
