Peugeot Designs the New Inception EV With Game-Like Steering

— January 8, 2023 — Autos
Peugeot introduces its new Inception EV concept, which is a new electric vehicle that envisions what futuristic cars are to look like. It was presented during CES 2023 and has a level 4 autonomy design with interiors that are full of technology and elevated incorporations. The company highlights the Hypersquare steering control that is inspired by dynamic gaming culture and sci-fi themes.

It also has a next-generation i-Cockpit of Inception that controls the Hypersquare system. All of the controls in the car include climate control, music volume, and drive mode -- these are actuated by moving the thumb on the display segment. This seamless feature helps with distraction-free driving that helps focus on the roads.
