BMW to Launch Eletric Autonomous Car by 2021


BMW has confirmed Plans to launch an Electric (iNext), autonomous car by 2021. Chief Executive Harald Krueger revealed the Plans during the Company 100 years Celebrations.

No details has been revealed for the BMW iNext but we figure it out that autonomous Car is still being worked on.
 BMW has been out of the few Companies to Confirm the Launch of autonomous Car which is being worked on.
BMW has been one of the quicker car companies to embrace self-driving, with plans to install automatic parking on most cars by 2018.


An interesting part of the comment from Krueger is “the next generation of electro-mobility”, which suggests redefining of “automotive” from the company.

BMW and others considering “Cars-as-a-Service”?

We’ve heard that automotive companies are looking into offering several autonomous cars on a flat rate, so you could use a sporty car to get to work and then an SUV to take the family somewhere special on the weekends.
The cars would wait in a garage for your call and customers would pay monthly for the package. BMW has not mentioned that scenario in the announcement of the iNext, but it is a possibility.
While BMW is one of the first to announce plans to launch an autonomous car, it is not alone in the race. Tesla is starting to implement self-driving systems on highways already, General Motors recently acquired are working on their own systems or in partnership with Google.
