A driveless car seems like a bit of an oxymoron, however the Rinspeed XchangE concept car-based on the [Tesla](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-cybercab) [Model S](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/track-mode)-is not only beautifully designed, it's also changing the future of car models.

The car is engineered to maneuver itself, however it also allows the driver the option to steer if you so wish. This [luxury sedan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-mercedesbenz-sclass) offers 20 possible seat placements, along with swivel options; you can recline into comfort while catching a film on one of four hi-def screens. The impressive interior resembles more of a living room than a car, and it also offers a plethora of safety features, like programs linking to data sources with warning messages or route recommendations.

This car gives passengers a place to hang out while still being on the move. Commuting to and from work will be less tedious and maybe even a little more enjoyable, with all these futuristic features. Buckle up, this car is set to debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
