It was announced recently that in a shift away from Car manufacturing, Renault SA will purchase a 40% stake in the French media group, Challenges.

 (Name removed for personal data privacy reasons) wants to introduce further ways to introduce entertainment products to passengers in future driverless vehicles. This is born out of the fact that the passengers will have more time on their hands during the journey with a more social, face to face "across table" environment than the usual driver passenger arrangement, being highly likely.

As well as Challenges, Renault will also add automated driving content in four other group monthly science and history journals.

The alliance between Renault Nissan and Mitsubishi, aims to build a fully autonomous vehicle by 2022 and is also working to offer autonomous taxi services.
