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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wisk-aero-generation-6-evtol), but its interior is equally advanced, with a [fold-up steering wheel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-ldk-concept) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Self-driving Cars:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced self-driving car technology with integrated features like fold-up steering wheels and connected drones. - **Personal Drones:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create drones that can be used for various tasks, including deliveries and live streaming, to enhance convenience and efficiency. - **Cloud-integrated Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore ways to integrate cloud technology into cars to enable advanced features like augmented navigation and gesture-based controls. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionize the automotive industry by developing self-driving cars with advanced features and integrated drone technology. - **Drone Delivery:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Disrupt the delivery industry by implementing drones as a reliable and efficient method for carrying out deliveries. - **Smart Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Tap into the smart technology industry by developing cloud-integrated features for cars that enhance navigation, control, and connectivity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Drone-Equipped Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byd-and-dji.md) - [Autonomous Emergency Drone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-duo.md) - [Steering Wheel-Free Autonomous Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innerspace.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Folding Ergonomic Steering Wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steering-wheel-concept.md) - [Drone-Equipped Security SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ghiath-smart-patrol.md) - [Open-Air Autonomous Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-adaptor.md) - [Drone-Equipped Electric Off-Roaders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolfgang-la-thundertruck.md) - [360-Degree Maneuverable Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotating-twoseater-pod.md)
