16 Awesome Autonomous Auto Concepts

From Reversible Concept Cars to AI-inspired Automobiles

— January 28, 2014 — Autos
While Google's autonomous cars are nothing to laugh at, they aren't nearly as advanced as all of these awesome autonomous auto concepts. Okay, so the cars featured here aren't technically real. Still, they show the possible future of the autonomous automobile. Spoiler alert: the future is a bright and lazy one.

These awesome autonomous auto concepts prove that self-driving cars are likely to be used for more than personal use. There are autonomous cabs, cop cars and even mail trucks featured here. While many of these concepts will never see the road, they do indicate that creatives are already thinking of ways to make autonomous autos more functional. Enjoy erratic cabbies and wild police chases as they are now while you can, because sooner than later these things may be completely automated.
