Kia is planning to build a fully autonomous car by the year 2030.At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the South Korean firm announced the technologies required for this autonomy would fall under a new sub brand dubbed Drive Wise".The timetable is thus: partial autonomy by 2020, and full, self-driving capacity ten years after that.What are we looking at, then? Well, at CES, Kia said Drive Wise incorporates highway and urban autonomous driving, preceding vehicle following" (lane-keeping that monitors the car ahead), emergency stop (it analyses your face and makes sure your eyes are on the road), and a traffic jam assist. Oh, and autonomous valet parking, just like BMW.The next generation of Drive Wise technologies will include a fingerprint touchpad and gesture recognition (sound familiar?) used to operate the car"s controls, and pre-loading individual drivers" preferences.
