The Rinspeed Etos is known as an [autonomous hybrid car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-driving-system) that comes with a companion drone, which makes it fairly impressive already as a car of the future. But in tandem with the LIVS system, the car is even smarter. LIVS, which stands for 'Life-Enhancing Intelligent Vehicle Solution,' provides a driver with camera assistance, 3D navigation tools, personalized in-car entertainment, tools for the mobile office and more.
