Autonomous driving is not something new, in fact several companies, such as Tesla, offer cars with this option. All this would not be possible without the IT industry, which strives in every way to improve our lives. This is exactly what happened to Ferrari, which refused to use autonomous driving in its cars.
We know we live in a time of technology, but some things are simply incompatible. So a group of IT experts insisted on holding a meeting with Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna to convince him that autonomous driving is exactly what Ferrari needs. However, to their surprise, Vigna did not show interest in such a thing. In fact, he offered them a ride in their super car, after which they said, “OK Benedetto, our presentation is useless”. That was enough for IT experts to understand why Ferrari is one of the biggest brands in the world.
This does not mean that Ferrari will give up electrification of its models. No matter what we think about it, it is destiny. Ferrari will not give up internal combustion engines either. “I believe the internal combustion engine has a lot to give,” Vigna said.
Ferrari’s plans are to electrify 60 percent of its cars by 2026, and to become carbon-neutral by the end of the decade.
