Audi AG, the world’s second-largest maker of luxury vehicles, will roll out technology to enable autonomous driving in urban traffic, joining companies promoting features to ease the strain of operating a car.
Audi’s self-driving system takes over steering, braking and accelerating in stop-and-go traffic and operates at speeds up to 60 kilometers (37 miles) per hour, Chief Financial Officer Axel Strotbek said yesterday in a speech at the Frankfurt School of Finance. The system will be available “very soon,” he said, without providing details.
