DÜSSELDORF (dpa-AFX) - "Handelsblatt" on VW's robot taxi plans:
"It's a comeback with common sense. After years of stagnation, autonomous driving is experiencing a renaissance – no longer as a loud vision, but as a concrete market entry. Volkswagen is putting Europe's first autonomous series-production vehicle on the road with the ID.Buzz AD. Almost at the same time, Uber is announcing a partnership with British AI start-up Wayve. Tesla's announcements follow – as always, grandiose: eccentric CEO Elon Musk wants to turn virtually everyone into a robot taxi entrepreneur. Apart from that, however, current projects show that the topic is back: quieter, more modest, and more realistic than before. That's good for the industry."/DP/jha
