Aston Martin boss slams ‘reckless’ self-driving tech

AutoExec Summary
Aston Martin’s CEO, Andy Palmer, criticises the push for level three autonomous driving systems, labelling them as "reckless." He advocates for advancing directly to level four autonomy, where drivers relinquish control without retaining responsibility. Palmer expresses scepticism about the rapid transition to electric vehicles, predicting a gradual evolution until 2040. He highlights Aston Martin’s commitment to hybrid technology and the upcoming release of several high-performance models, including the AM-RB 003 and Valkyrie, which aim to compete with brands like Ferrari and McLaren.
