Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi seek robotaxi deals with tech companies

Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors are lining up partners for their push into shared driverless robotaxis.
The alliance plans to unveil names in coming months, said Ogi Redzic, a senior vice president overseeing about 1,000 employees developing connectivity services for the group.
