'Raring to go:' the German remote-driving firm that hopes to make private car ownership redundant

'Raring to go:' the German remote-driving firm that hopes to make private car ownership redundant H aving been summoned by a few clicks in an app, the electric car slows to a halt outside the former cargo hall of Berlin's now defunct Tegel airport. No one is at the wheel, but upon a passenger stepping inside, a voice announces: "This is Bartek, I am your driver today. Please buckle up and we can be on our way." The car emits a friendly jingle, then makes its way to the former runway, where it performs a fault-free manoeuvre around a route marked by traffic cones. This is not your standard driverless car.
