"i" Next is BMW’s New Self-Driving Car Devision

The German automaker has decided to restructure its ‘i’ division into a development center for self-driving cars, according to reports.

The division has been mainly focused on building an army of electric vehicles for the company till now.

The shift in strategy has come about because of BMW failing to create enough excitement or demand for the i3 electric car, of which only 25,000 are said to have been sold in Europe. In comparison, Tesla managed to get over 370,000 bookings for their Model 3 earlier this year.
