Intel, a company that has become a major player in self-driving technology through the acquisition of automotive sensor maker Mobileye earlier this year, will partner with Warner Bros. to convert a self-driving car into one that becomes an experimental entertainment pod. The announcement was made at the Los Angeles Auto Show here. What do Audi, Volvo, Tesla and GM have in common? Yes, they all make cars. But they're also all customers of Israel's Mobileye, which had an initial public offering this time last year.
