Verizon, one of the biggest phone companies in America, has decided to invest in self-driving cars from the company known as Renovo Auto. The Phone giant wants to invest in the company because they see it that self-driving cars are a certain future that they want to take a part in. By investing in Renovo Auto, Verizon will be the company that Renovo Auto will use for their mobile internet needs. Especially with the use of the Delorean as a subject for this self-driving vehicle, it will attract nostalgia with the movie, Back to the Future, a film where a scientist and a teenager use a Delorean that can travel in time, so the idea is that this vehicle is the future and Verizon wants a piece of the cake.

It is so weird to see how companies are making self - driving cars now. I don't know if I would even feel comfortable having a self - driving car just because there could be a malfunction at any moment. I guess it is a good thing that Verizon wants to invest in more things. Its a major transition though going from phones to a car.
