Panasonic is advancing empirical tests for the development of a small electric vehicle (EV) capable of fully autonomous driving. The technology uses image recognition technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to strive to complete development around 2020. Panasonic does not envisage selling the car itself, but instead aims to provide technology or accept design outsourcing for car manufacturers in the future. Automakers and IT companies at home and abroad are competing to develop autonomous vehicles, and the Japanese government has also listed them as key projects in economic growth strategies. Panasonic also hopes to cultivate automotive-related businesses such as car batteries, sensors, and cameras into profit growth points.

The prototype has started the driving test on the test road set in Yokohama City. In the middle of this year, the company headquarters in Osaka Prefecture will conduct tests in an environment close to the highway, and then consider driving on actual roads.
The person in charge of the company predicted that: "In addition to passenger cars, a wide range of technical applications such as agricultural tractors and loading and unloading trucks for logistics facilities can be envisaged."
