The Future of Automotive in a Smart Cities World
summary
Aston Martin commits to a full electrification program by the mid-2020s, launching the Rapide II electric into production this year and debuting a Lagonda all‑electric SUV in 2020; claimed 400 miles range and rapid recharge, plus weight savings from aluminum/carbon composite work that already influenced the BMW 7‑Series after the 2007 DBS. Autonomy strategy skips level 3, introduces Level 2 driver-assist broadly and Level 4 geo-fenced autonomy in specific zones. Small OEM agility, standardization and data-privacy remain the main hurdles.
