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 an SUV variant for the North American market as well as new ideas for its I.D. 3 Cabriolet.
