BREAKTHROUGH CONCEPT CARS 2020's Maryanne Kane

BREAKTHROUGH CONCEPT CARS 2020's - THE FUTURE OF DRIVING showcases fascinating new concept cars that are the roadmaps to the future of driving. These concept vehicles represent the collective creativity, vision, innovation and technological directions that automakers are driving toward. As Mercedes-Benz puts it, our concept cars reflect our vision of design, engineering and emerging technologies that will comprise groundbreaking vehicles of the future. The vehicles also reflect consumer interest and preference trends - their wish lists of what future cars will deliver. Some of the very promising and fascinating concept cars included in the book are from Jeep, Cadillac, Honda, Kia, Hyundai, Mercedes, VW, Jaguar, Geely, Volvo, GM, Sony and Apple, just to name a few. They range from the spectacular Mercedes EV concept Vision AVTR, which is so technologically advanced that it can drive sideways in a "crab movement" and recognizes the driver/owner by their breathing and unlocks undreamed of automotive technologies. Another standout is the Cadillac PAV concept car. It's a pod shaped robotaxi that Cadillac calls a luxurious "mobile living room". Also profiled is Hyundai's Tiger Walking concept vehicle that walks over obstacles that it can't drive over. The big megatrends that you'll spot among the many new concepts vehicles included in the book are full electrification, fully autonomous driving and revolutionary modular designs. I spotlight highly intelligent cars, cars that morph and change size, flying cars, flying taxis, supercars, supertrucks, tiny city vehicles, cars that drive on three wheels and much more. If you would like to explore the exciting future of driving in revolutionary new vehicles, this is the book for you.
