The world of autonomous vehicles just got a more luxurious, after Rolls-Royce unveiled a driverless super car of the future. It has dubbed its futuristic* car, which looks like it could have come straight out of Batman’s cave, the Rolls-Royce 103EX. The vehicle will be six meters long, with a canopy roof, covered wheels and a curved body. The front seat is replaced with a sofa-style body and it features an AI-powered* voice assistant named Eleanor. Rolls-Royce describes it as the “ultimate concept car,” in a rare insight into how the luxury vehicle maker sees the future of motoring. The car was unveiled at a global event held in London but the company said it may be another 25 years before it hits the road. BMW, who owns Rolls-Royce, said self-driving technology was still some way off being fully autonomous. Rolls-Royce acknowledged that the immense 12-cylinder engines that have powered its huge cars in recent years are “most unlikely to exist in the future.”(SD-Agencies) |
