Driverless cars

Apparently, Rinspeed is targeting driverless cars. The company created an intuitive, adaptive autopilot capable of learning. The interior can be adapted to any particular driving situation and it can enter into an autonomous mode, in which the steering wheel folds up elegantly and retracts completely into the dashboard, as Rinspeed informed.

The car uses a system called Harman Connected Car technologies, which works just like a personal assistant and can think in a courteous and anticipatory manner. The system also delivers proper entertainment, connectivity and maximum safety.

Onboard drone

The sporty hybrid car incorporates a drone that has its own landing pad on the rear end. The company said that there are many benefits from this feature

“It could fetch a bouquet of flowers the driver ordered online and even deliver it directly to the lucky recipiet. It could also take a video of the wild ride on the favorite fun road and stream it live to friends! No doubt, Frank M. Rinderknecht present himself as a visionary and magician in Las Vegas.” Rinspeed statement said.
