This week, our reporters have been quizzing the man in charge of Cupra over what else he drives, finding out what brand leaders really think autonomous cars, and asking if hydrogen is getting closer to the mainstream.
A Cupra collection
What does Seat and Cupra boss Wayne Griffiths drive when he’s not in his company car? “I’ve got a Mk1 1966 Jaguar E-Type convertible in red,” the Brit told us proudly, showing us a picture on his phone. We would, too, if we lived near the Spanish coast.
Autonomy has its advantages
“Everybody loves to steer cars, to have fun, but sometimes it’s boring.” Bluntly put, perhaps, but Volkswagen CEO Ralf Brandstätter is keen to extol the benefits of self-driving tech. “In the future, you can decide what you want to do with the additional quality time we are giving our customers,” he said, suggesting traffic jams could soon provide extra chances to work or relax.
Hydrogen less of a wallet drain

Sounds like Wayne Griffiths has good taste in old cars. If only the company he is in charge of made cars someone would be equally proud to own in 55 years time..........
I get paid more than $90 to $100 per hour for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this I have earned easily $10k from this without having online working skills .

I don't believe the car companies are being honest about autonomous vehicles. For a car to be truly autonomous, it needs to know what it's doing and what all the other vehicles near it are doing. This means doing away with unpredictable, unreadable human drivers. The future is roads - motorways first, probably - where human drivers are banned and the only way to access it is in a fully autonomous vehicle.
