Slick autonomous car concepts have been in extreme focus as automakers compete on providing the most user-focused, high-tech experience. Citroën feeds into this market with a stylish new idea for an ultra-luxurious automobile which takes inspiration from aviation design. Described as "a living room on wheels" and as offering a "magic carpet ride," it is easy to assume that the manufacturer attempted to create an incredibly seamless riding experience for passengers.
The proposed autonomous car concept — which is dubbed '19_19,' fuses elements of an aircraft and a helicopter. The car relies on Citroen's Progressive Hydraulic Cushion suspension, "natural sponge"-like 30-inch wheels which are developed in collaboration with Goodyear, as well as an abundance of smart sensors that detect road conditions and a personal assistant that is powered by artificial intelligence.
