Volvo, a Swedish automaker is drawing a future picture, where the car is not only a vehicle but also a living and working space for its owner.
Volvo has just presented its latest car design. Not only is the car self-driving, this car can turn into a bed or even a miniature office.
Volvo, a Swedish automaker is drawing a future picture, where the car is not only a vehicle but also a living and working space for its owner. In its latest self-driving car design, the automaker expects future cars to be a place to live, sleep and work while its owner is still on the road.
Design the latest self-driving car of Volvo.Called 360c, this car completely owns the running track without any human impact.
The 360c is fully powered by electricity and is expected to be launched in 2021. Volvo expects this model to usher in a completely new revolution for long-distance travel and real estate in urban areas. or simply improve the green environment.
Not only driving in the city, the 360c model still satisfies customers who need to travel with a distance of more than 300km. The company said it was a level 5 self-driving car, which meant absolutely no human control in any case.
360c provides the best experience for users.The interior is designed to flexibly convert the utility.At night, a comfy bed will be turned on to help users relax.
Wake up in the morning, the space inside the car will become a luxurious living room, helping you enjoy breakfast in the best way.The window becomes a screen to record the information needed for a new working day to begin.
Without the steering wheel and gasoline-burning engine, Volvo took advantage of the free space to design the interior of the car into a living room, a bedroom or a working space (depending on the purpose of the owner's transformation). All are equipped with full equipment for a connected life.
Car windows are not only bland reflective mirrors, but they become electronic displays that show the information needed for an owner's day.
Although not focused on clarification, it seems that the car is also equipped with a virtual assistant. As soon as I stepped into the car, the car automatically greeted , 'Hello, what can I do for you?'
'The 360c model is really a benchmark for self-driving cars. It includes four attached facilities: a comfortable resting environment, a convenient mobile office, a top notch entertainment space and an elegant airy living room. All together create a true passenger car , 'Volvo said in a press release.
The system of warning lights and horns helps pedestrians and other vehicles in circulation to identify and avoid, helping 360c move safer on the road.
On the outside, the car is equipped with lights and sirens to help pedestrians and other vehicles know about the movement of self-driving cars on the road. Volvo hopes this system will become the standard for future vehicles to create a safe way of communication for all vehicles traveling on the road.
With intelligent lighting, horn and environmental detection systems, the company hopes its model will compete directly with airlines in not too far journeys.
The Swedish automaker envisions a distant future when self-driving cars dominate the streets, at which time traffic in cities will be re-planned, more and more people choose to live in suburban areas. even rural. And 360c helps them move easily and conveniently into the city, they can save time when taking advantage of working on the way.
Looking further, Volvo expects this vehicle and similar self-driving vehicles to replace aviation in ways not too far away.'For example,' the company said, 'one can choose a 360c and spend the night on a car to move from Washington DC to New York, instead of a train or plane.'
Volvo uses electricity as its operating fuel, which hopes that future models will completely eliminate other petroleum or fossil fuels that pollute the environment.
'Domestic tourism will become more interesting. You can experience the luxuriously designed bed in the car and wake up with the most refreshing spirit in the place you need. Our vehicle will become a formidable competitor for airlines in the future , 'said Marten Levenstam, Volvo's vice president of strategy.
With all the superior facilities and features, this model will have a price that is not cheap compared to the average income of many people. However, the company still believes that its products will be widely accepted and pioneered to create a larger industry with smart products.
Although no pricing is announced, the money it takes to own this car is easy to see.But the company still has a firm belief that this will be the key product and bring the type of revenue to them.
Major car manufacturers in the world are actively developing self-driving cars to meet the future needs of the market, although right now it is too early to determine if this market is available. wide or not. Big tech companies like Uber or Alphabet's Waymo (Google's parent company) also poured billions of US dollars to develop self-driving cars.
Tesla's Model 3 sedan is one of the most notable self-driving cars in the past, but its self-driving level is only level 2 and will be upgraded to level 3 in the next software update version. according to the.Meanwhile, Volvo's 360c model is said to be self-driving at level 5, meaning no human intervention is needed in almost all cases.
Meanwhile, Daimler makes a self-driving car and is conducting tests. Previously, Daimler's rival, Bosch, rolled a robot taxi in Silicon Valley in California. Toyota has also introduced a similar 360c model, called e-Palette at CES earlier this year.
