Test Track For Selfdriving Cars To Be Built In W Hungary
- 20 May 2016 9:00 AM
The government plans to build a test track for, primarily, driverless cars, in Zalaegerszeg, in western Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced on Thursday. Speaking at the “Cars of the Future” conference at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Orbán called the test track a major investment, “the like of which cannot be found” within 500 kilometres of Hungary.
He noted that the government is planning to reduce the VAT on internet services to 18% from 27% next year.
Depending on GDP growth, the VAT could be further reduced to 5% from 2018, which would give a significant boost to the digital technology industry, the prime minister said, adding that Hungary and central Europe could be the “winners of digitalisation” with regional cooperation.
