He was soon heading back south again: across the Channel in fact, to Velizy and PSA’s R&D department, home of the company’s remarkable CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) facility, where science fiction is science fact. “It was amazing,” he said. “The innovation was mind-blowing. The engineers there are living five to ten years into the future.”
