Carlos Ghosn, who heads the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, predicted the revolution sweeping the automobile industry will become increasingly visible in the next five years, with self-driving and connected cars more prevalent while consumers shun tainted technologies like diesel.
To meet the changes, the Franco-Japanese carmaking pact is considering partnerships with companies like Uber Technologies Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and China’s Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. for its autonomous cars, the 63-year-old executive said in a Bloomberg TV interview Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
