    And we have the next generation of electric cars – those that can self-drive. It had to come at some point, and it is now. Autonomobile is the concept for a futuristic, self-driving, low-speed electric vehicle as inspiration for companies developing cleaner transportation technology. The Autonomobile concept is intended for 2040 and is envisioned as “the end of driving”. Designers Mike and Maaike actually ‘set out to design a concept car which questions current obsessions of speed, styling and driving in search of an optimistic new future’.


    The concept is a seven-seat lounge pod meant to allow comfortable productivity or social time while you’re stuck in traffic or rolling along at moderate speeds. It has no steering wheel, brake pedal or driver seat, and for more space could have electric motors in each wheel and energy, some of which can be generated using rooftop solar panels, stored beneath the vehicle floor. It might be a harmless and efficient idea but honestly!
