Stellantis details AI tools and driver-control features in new prototype

Stellantis says artificial intelligence can cut vehicle development time from weeks to days, though it cannot decide which car to build. Its chief technology officer argues that making one's own role redundant is the best career move. A prototype vehicle uses the STLA AutoDrive L2++ driver-assist system, which beeps when the driver must take over, and includes a kill switch that disconnects the system and restores full manual control. Stellantis continues to run its North American engineering operations from the Chrysler Technology Center in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
