Disruptive technology has become a driving factor in almost all sectors and the automotive industry is no exception. Powered by accelerating digitisation, this industry is breaking barriers created by the COVID-19 pandemic and is set to enter the future age in style with sleek, speedy and safe models. Whether it is Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data analytics or Internet of Things (IoT), technology has ignited astounding changes that leave no choice for the automotive industry except to catch up.

The model sensors include radar-like technical systems and a stereoscopic vision system, GPS, Optical Object Recognition and Real-time Positioning Systems.

The benefit of smart mobility, both for makers and users, has encouraged authorities to move in the right direction. Self-driving pods are changing the name of the game.
