This autonomous car from Volkswagen is driven by electricity and is driverless. The pod-shaped car doesn\u2019t have any pedals or steering wheels and can be operated with the touch of a button. This autonomous car may not be in production soon, but it might inspire other models of Volkswagen designed along similar lines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Supercruise from GM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GM is leaving no stone unturned to prove that driverless cars are safe and can be relied upon. The &#8216;Supercruise&#8217; feature which enables feet free and hands free driving is expected to be launched next year, with CT6. The other cool feature that GM\u2019s self-driving cars would have is the DSRC, which is a system of communication between vehicles enabling them to stop when they come too close to one another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nissan Qashqai<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39570\" src=\"https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Nissan-Qashqai.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Nissan-Qashqai.jpg 800w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Nissan-Qashqai-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Nissan-Qashqai-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Nissan-Qashqai-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Nissan-Qashqai-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image Source : nissan.ca<\/p>\n<p>Nissan\u2019s Qashqai was the surprise entry in the autonomous cars segment.

According to Nissan, its autonomous car would be launched in 2017, and would have the ability to drive on single lane motorways by itself. The company announced that it would launch its fully autonomous car in 2020.
