London -  Renault announced it has developed an autonomous control system that can handle challenging driving scenarios. In an industry first, the system can demonstrate road obstacle avoidance as well as professional test drivers.

These drivers served as the inspiration and the benchmark for this achievement at Renault Open Innovation Lab – Silicon Valley.
