The conceptual Mercedes-Benz Vision Duet has been designed by Lujie Huang as a futuristic transportation solution that's imagined for the year 2035 when autonomous electric vehicles are expected to be the norm. The vehicle is built with a passenger-focused interior cabin and an aerodynamic exterior that enable it to reach high speeds without creating too much additional drag. The open-concept passenger space helps to create an airy feeling that puts a focus on enjoying the view instead of constantly feeling restricted within the compact interior space.
The conceptual Mercedes-Benz Vision Duet was eloquently explained by Huang who said, "The objective is to capture the magical moments of user experience offered by autonomous vehicles as a part of our lifestyles.”
