5. SOUNDBITE (English) Gordon McCall, Director of Motorsports, The Quail:
"It’s interesting how we have not only large manufacturers unveiling new models and prototypes, but we’ve also got small, bespoke builders that maybe only build half a dozen cars a year. They’re here as well, and what’s interesting is they’re taking orders for their cars."
6. Various of Tensor autonomous vehicle display
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Amy Luca, Chief Marketing Officer, Tensor Auto:
"So brand new to the world is the first level four or fully autonomous vehicle that you can personally own. It is a robo car, not a robo taxi, and it’s built for personal ownership."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Amy Luca, Chief Marketing Officer, Tensor Auto:
"I don’t know how many people really love the art of the commute or driving to the airport, so when you want Tensor to take the wheel, Tensor is more than happy to take the wheel and self-drive."
10. Various of Cadillac autonomous concept car unveiled
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Brian Smith, Design Director, General Motors:
"And the idea behind Elevate Mode is to let the car drive for you. The steering wheel and pedals pull away."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Brian Smith, Design Director, General Motors:
"You can have your cake and eat it too. You can really have that exhilarating performance feel, aggressive acceleration, handling, performance. But sometimes you just want to relax, right?"
14. Various of new Lamborghini Fenomeno unveiling
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Stephan Winklemann, CEO, Lamborghini:
"We have a world premiere. This is the Lamborghini Fenomeno. It’s a few off. We’re going to produce only 29 times and it’s the most powerful Lamborghini we’ve ever done with 1080 horsepower."
16. Various of the new Lamborghini Fenomeno
17. SOUNDBITE (English) Stephan Winklemann, CEO, Lamborghini:
"There are three megatrends. One is autonomous driving. The other one is electrification and the third is now digitalization. For us, we will always be driver cars with the steering wheel and this is here to stay. But it’s clear that autonomous driving in the future will be more and more important."
18. Various of Maserati vehicle on display
19. SOUNDBITE (English) Andrea Soriani, General Manager of Maserati North America:
"Maserati is pioneering autonomous driving. We’ve done a partnership with the University of Milano, an engineering university, the very famous Politecnico of Milano in Italy. And actually today we still hold the world speed records made with an MC20 for autonomous driving. So yes, driving experience is important but we are keeping an eye on the future because it’s very important to see what’s next to improve what we have today."
20. Various of Bugatti Brouillard unveiling
21. SOUNDBITE (English) Mate Rimac, CEO, Rimac Group:
"I’m a bit of a different position than most people you talk to, because on one side I’m the CEO of Bugatti making the pinnacle of cars and the most expensive and most beautiful cars in the world. On the other side I have two other companies, one of them being Verne, a robotaxi company, so we also develop self-driving cars and I think it’s absolutely the future but not for everyone and not for every situation."
