The EV will have Level 3 Autonomous driving.  It will be equipped with the new STLA Brain technology for cloud computing and STLA Smart Cockpit computers, displays and hardware. Smart Cockpit uses AI based applications to integrate the driver/passengers' digital home and work environments. It also delivers voice controls, digital personal assistance, navigation, e-commerce and more.  Over the air interfaces let the passengers add new features.   The expected price starts at $50,000 and the vehicle will go on the market in 2025.  At the moment, Chrysler has only two vehicle models.  It hopes to transition to an all-electric brand in 2028.  The original Chrysler Airflow was a full-sized sedan produced by Chrysler from 1934-1937.  For more news stories like this, Future Modes of Travel 2020's & 2030's
