Volkswagen is negotiating with Ford about the alliance of self-driving cars.

FRANKFURT, Reuters, 28 Feb–Daimler and BMW deepened their cooperation on Thursday, sharing the increasing development cost of highly autonomous driving technology, despite the efforts of both automakers to develop fully automatic driverless cars. The huge cost of designing and manufacturing computer-driven cars has prompted Honda to cooperate with General Motors, and Volkswagen is negotiating with Ford on the alliance of self-driving cars.

R & MichaelHafner, head of automatic driving in Mercedes-Benz D department, said in his blog that BMW and Daimler deepened their alliance for similar reasons.

He said: "We understand that developing these systems is a bit like climbing a mountain."

The first few meters from the base station to the top of the mountain are easy. However, the closer you get to the goal, the thinner the air around you, the more strength you need for each step, and the more complicated the challenge. "
