Luxury automaker BMW AG is showing o a
sleek concept car aimed at a future in which
drivers choose between the pleasures of
high-performance driving and letting the car
take control. The company unveiled the Vision Next 100 at
ceremonies Monday for the company’s 100th
birthday at Munich’s Olympic Hall. The car offers a choice of driver-controlled or
vehicle-controlled operations. In driver mode,
the car indicates the ideal driving line and
speed; in “ease” or autonomous mode, the steering wheel retracts and the driver and front-
seat passenger can turn to face each other.
Concept cars suggest what future production
models might look like Auto executives said last week at the Geneva
International Motor Show that some elements
of autonomous driving could begin being
introduced around the end of this decade.
