All About Developing Expensive Electric and Autonomous Technologies
Today's R&D innovation tie-up between Suzuki and Toyota is another leading example of the technology partnerships in the global automotive industry. It's all about joining forces, with big competitors, to defray the costs of developing very expensive new technologies for electric and autonomous vehicles.
Once in a Century
Automotive experts are calling this environment as a once in a century shift to electrification of electric vehicles. Another example is VW and Ford collaborating on electric and autonomous vehicles.
