The tech is there now, automakers just need to stop making excuses. BMW is not making any and pressing forward. If they can get this stuff out the door as a relatively "small" company than the big boys can do even more. Instead of padding packets do some R&D, pay your CEO a bit less and get things progressing.

We are witnessing a huge shift in the industry, and I am excited.
