The German automaker is planning to release self-driving vehicles in China in 2021, Maximilian Doemling, senior manager for highly automated driving at BMW Group, announced over the weekend at an artificial intelligence summit in China, China Radio International first reported. Doemling said future BMW cars will be able to drive autonomously on the highway by "pressing the button." The automaker is working with Intel and Mobileye to develop its self-driving cars. Mobileye is an Israeli firm that develops cameras and software so cars can "see" the world around them. It's a client of General Motors, but recently ended its partnership with Tesla.
