TOKYO -- Subaru aims to develop self-driving technology by 2025 that can pilot a car even when its data connection is lost, Nikkei has learned.

The Japanese automaker envisions servers constantly collecting data on a car's position to predict the vehicle's course up to roughly 10 seconds down the road.
