The engine of the car would be the same 2.0 liter turbocharged four pot.

The Steering, throttle, brakes, gearbox and parking brake is all controlled by a fly by wire technology. Even the GPS which helps to communicate with the software that helps navigate the vehicle is also built on this same technology. This eliminates the requirement of a driver inside the car.
