In the automotive technology section, a war much bloodier than you can imagine is being lived where, to give you an example, companies like Intel, seeing that they are not capable of entering the market by themselves, are able to buy others for more than 15.000 million dollars or others, such as Tesla, fire their external collaborators because several of their cars have suffered some mishap.
Truly after all this evolution where it seems to matter if a company is left by the way, the truth is that we find a huge market that can generate even greater benefits, even in which the only thing that seems worth is being the first to offer a truly car autonomous, something that, according to BMW they themselves could achieve in the year 2021 .
BMW will put Level 5 certified autonomous vehicles on the market during the summer of 2021.
In order for a car to be considered as autonomous, level 5 certification must be achieved. An example of how complicated this can be we have it in Tesla, perhaps one of the companies that gives the most publicity to its Autopilot and that has been certified with level 2, a software that, after the arrival of new hardware in vehicles of the company, I go on to achieve level 4 certification. As a detail, I can tell you that at the moment no one, except Volkswagen and its Sedric prototype, has achieved level 5.
Returning to BMW, it should be noted that it was today when Elmar frickenstein, senior vice president in the autonomous driving department at BMW, has stated that During the summer of 2021, BMW will launch its first vehicles with level 3, 4 and 5 certification.. Even so, we will not have to wait that long to see BMW prototypes testing their systems since the former can be seen on the streets of major cities this year.
