Answer:
The central idea is stated: "Although the interior appears to be completely standard, some aspects of the interior make it special. "
The idea is developed by a description of features that are found on the dashboard of the autonomous A7. This means its one of the biggest steps ever taken by automakers.
What is the purpose of Autonomous Cars?
Autonomous cars will provide vast economic opportunities to the people profiting from them. No other reason is needed.
However autonomous cars will help people with physical limitations travel easier.
The marketing behind them will be to increase safety by using artificial instead of human intelligence to detect objects in the road that should be avoided.
The people selling them will promise an increase in safety while also promising to cover the cost of your funeral when the inevitable repeatable error happens to result in your death.
Instead of relying on human instincts built up over millions of years that ensure self-preservation, a computer will be safer.
People argue cell phone use cannot be stopped inside a car and the only way we can avoid people crashing while on the phone is autonomous cars. People argue there is no technology to detect alcohol on a person's breath to prevent the car from starting and the only option is to make autonomous cars. People argue that people are so unintelligent they make rocks look smart and the only solution is autonomous cars.
Making trillions of dollars is as good of a purpose as any other and safety products sell for a premium. When people die from repeatable errors they'll have their funeral paid for and probably some cash to cover the wages their family misses. People die everyday already.
