There’s a problem with the world’s most advanced, tech-heavy luxury cars – too much stuff. Any high-end passenger vehicle worth its leather upholstery is expected to come bearing a feature list longer than a Tolstoy novel, which usually means too much stuff to even keep track of, let alone control. The solution? More gadgets! To streamline the user experience, BMW envisions the implementation of gesture tracking, voice recognition, and fully autonomous driving modes, all of which are on display with the i Vision Future Interaction concept recently unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2016.
At first glance, this thing looks like a door-free take on the i8 Concept Spyder we saw back in 2012 in Beijing. That particular vehicle came with unique exterior styling, a slightly truncated wheelbase, and an 8.8-inch display screen mounted in the cabin, plus a variety of bells and whistles carried forward to the “normal” i8 road car (prodigious use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic and aluminum, for example). The Vision Future adds to this with a “networked cockpit” that supposedly represents the “user interface of the future,” as well as that all-important fully autonomous driving mode option.
Where is BMW heading when it comes to design and technology? Read on to find out.
