# Passenger-Only Eco Autos The 'AKKA link&go; 2.0' Concept is a Hands-Free Electrical Car By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-03-12 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electrical-car References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/technology/akka-linkgo-2-0-electric-driverless-concept-car-for-the-city-of-the-future-03-12-2014/) & [akka.eu](http://www.akka.eu/) More headway was made on the electrical car recently, as AKKA Technologies presented the AKKA link&go 2.0 auto. With no driver's seat to be found, this car is a strictly passenger-only form of transportation. To add to its already eco-friendly concept, the car is also equipped with social media to allow for further carpooling capabilities. With the availability of sites like Twitter and Facebook, people can easily connect with one another, and AKKA technologies is simply redirecting this communication to a more environmentally conscious need. This electrical car is just a concept now, but the technology is all there to make it work in an urban setting. Motion sensors, cameras and even lasers have been used to ensure a carefree passenger experience.
