"Hyundai and Volkswagen plan to roll out self-driving cars by 2021...."

"Hyundai also said that it will reveal a hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle next week."

"General Motors said in November that its self-driving vehicles will carry passengers and deliver goods in big cities by 2019."


All very interesting to read, I'm looking forward to this happening.

General Motors (used to own Vauxhall in the UK) are trying to get permission to have self driving cars with no back up steering wheels or pedals in them by next year.

Well I'm impressed.
"Marchionne gave Tesla and Elon Musk kudos for doing what it’s managed to accomplish, but also undermined said compliment by noting that he believes “it’s doable by all of us,” referring to other automakers, per the report. He said that while it’s still likely a ways off, there are already firm plans in place to put out hybrid Ferrari vehicles first, and then from there, it should be “easy” for the automaker to move into electrics."
