Dobrindt told FAZ that Germany can be a world leader in electronics and vehicles, and that its manufacturers “will not rely on Google”, which has seen success with self-driving cars in the US.

Audi recently demonstrated its latest self-driving tech by sending a car nearly 900 kilometres from Silicon Valley to Nevada for the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where Mercedes-Benz showed its vision for a self-driving wheeled lounge room for the future.

The transport minister also says Germany will work to protect itself from the monopolisation of data by either North American or Asian companies, asserting the “digital sovereignty” of the state.

Car makers have previously tested self-driving cars on public roads, but this will represent the first stretch of highway specifically sanctioned and digitally upgraded for self-driving cars.
