The Rinspeed Σtos is a self-driving concept car that has its own personal flying drone to carry out chores like picking up deliveries or sending gifts. The back of the car has a little landing pad for the color-coordinated drone to perch on top of when inactive. Not only can the drone carry out such activities, it also has an integrated camera that livestreams its flight journey to the passengers.
The self-driving concept car doesn't stop with a connected flying drone, but its interior is equally advanced, with a fold-up steering wheel that slides into the dashboard when it isn't being used. The car also has Cloud-integrated technology, gesture-based controls and even augmented navigation.
Designed by the innovative Swiss custom manufacturer Rinspeed, the futuristic car will be revealed at the 2016 Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas.
