Berlin: German carmaker BMW is on track to deliver a self-driving car by 2021, the company`s senior vice president for Autonomous Driving, Elmar Frickenstein, said on Thursday.
"We are on the way to deliver a car in 2021 with level 3, 4 and 5," Frickenstein told a panel discussion in Berlin, explaining the vehicle will have different levels of autonomy, depending on how and where it is used.
A level 5 vehicle is capable of navigating roads without any driver input, while a level 3 car still needs a steering wheel and a driver who can take over if the car encounters a problem.
In July last year, BMW announced a partnership with Intel and Mobileye to develop self-driving by around 2021.
