Renault Nissan CEO Backs Away From 2020 Autonomous Goal: Report

Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has reportedly backed down from a prediction he made just six weeks ago, regarding future self-driven cars.

Ghosn previously said Nissan could have fully-autonomous cars in showrooms by 2018, after previous predictions pointed at a 2020 debut for the Japanese carmaker.

Speaking with industry paper Automotive News, the CEO has now suggested only semi-autonomous cars will be offered to the public between 2018 and 2020.
