mainstream iago's but now tesla is actually coming to berlin and it's been successful for almost a year already in terms of producing at mass volume does that mean the german auto industry is still playing catch up and we're welcoming any competitor because competition has always made us very strong globally and therefore if tesla comes to germany and becomes a competitor fine fine with us because as i said we are facing competition across the globe and we are always strong in this competition. now to some of the other business stories we're following for you the race for the supremacy of driverless car technology is heating up in california chinese start of auto xpect by e-commerce giant ali baba has applied to test self driving vehicles without an in-car backup driver in the u.s. state this makes auto x. the 1st challenger to google's autonomous driving adventure.
