Here comes world’s first modular self-driving car
    2017-05-24  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

Trying to find a car that matches your style is no easy task.

But a new modular driverless vehicle that is described as a “blank sheet of paper” could be the solution to meeting people’s varying styles.

The Edit self-driving vehicle is made up of five parts, allowing users to create different configurations* of the same vehicle both in terms of style and use.

The Edit vehicle was designed by Hong Kong-based OSVehicle, who wanted to make a self-driving car for everyone.

Alessandro Camorali, CEO of OSVehicle, said: “Edit is designed for the future. Design must not be an imposition but a participation.”

The modular technology allows users to easily embed several autonomous driving technologies, including lidars* and sensors.

The cars are expected to last more than 20 years, as modules can be replaced.

OSVehicle said: “Edit’s modular technology enables the easy replacement of key components such as the electric motor and battery pack, which allows vehicles to last 10X longer than traditional cars.”

Edit can also be customized by brands, both in the exterior body and the interior.

Described as “Vehicle-as-a-Service,” this allows companies to quickly deliver models tailored for each service and country. OSVehicle said: “With the rise of food delivery, ride and car sharing, vehicles should focus on the service brand and its needs, not the car brand.”

The interior can provide different settings from level one to five of autonomous driving.

It is unclear when the car will be available, or how much it will cost.
