Reversible Concept Cars

The Zoox Level 4 Autonomous Vehicle Can Drive You in Either Direction

— December 17, 2013 — Autos
When it comes to urban transportation especially, driving can be a stressful activity. The Zoox Level 4 Autonomous Vehicle was dreamed up to strip people of the responsibility of operating automobiles, making the process of getting from A to B safer, less taxing and more social.

Look at this futuristic automotive innovation and you'll see that both ends look almost alike. This is because the concept car is bi-directional, enabling you to drive straight out of a dead-end situation with no turning required. Of course, all occupants are passengers in this automatically controlled car, so any maneuvering need not be mentally strategized. Completely void of a windshield, the Zoox Level 4 Autonomous Vehicle includes four comfortable seats that face each other so that people can direct their focus inwards for a private and social atmosphere.
Trend Themes
1. Reversible Concept Cars - Companies can create reversible concept cars for a more efficient and versatile driving experience.
2. Level 4 Autonomous Vehicles - Advanced autonomous vehicle technology can revolutionize the transportation industry by providing more safety, convenience, and social engagement for passengers.
3. Interior-focused Automotive Design - Creating a car interior that prioritizes a social atmosphere and comfort can lead to a competitive edge in the automobile industry.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Manufacturing - Companies in the automotive industry can adopt the reversible concept car and the level 4 autonomous technology to innovate and offer more efficient and versatile products.
2. Transportation - The use of level 4 autonomous vehicles could change the face of public and private transportation by providing a safer and more convenient option for passengers.
3. Interior Design - Companies in the interior design industry can explore the trend of interior-focused automotive design for new opportunities to collaborate and create innovative, comfortable, and social car interiors.
