Fiat Chrysler Design Chief Calls For Industry Collaboration On Autonomous Cars

The age of autonomous motoring is on its way but, according to Fiat Chrysler design chief Ralph Gilles, automakers and outside industries will need to collaborate to a degree hitherto unheard of to achieve the desired outcomes.

Speaking before kick-off of the Chicago Auto Show last week, Mr Gilles pointed-out that full autonomous operation doesn’t end with vehicles.

“Everybody’s out there trying to do it alone... but I think it’s going to require unforeseen collaboration,” he said. “How can competitive industries join together... to get things done?”

Mr Gilles is advocating not only collaboration on vehicle development but also the supporting infrastructure.
