The Volvo 360c Highlights Endless Possibilities

— September 6, 2018 — Autos
Autonomous vehicles will be hitting our roads sooner than later and will open up endless possibilities for drivers and passengers as they are freed of the need to keep their eyes on the road, so the Volvo 360c identifies how this could be addressed.

The conceptual self-driving vehicle is integrated with an expansive seating area within that offers passengers the ability to partake in whatever activity they choose while being transported from home to the office or elsewhere. The vehicle aims to curb pollution, enhance feelings of well-being and be part of a larger shift towards ending traffic congestion in major cities around the world.

The conceptual Volvo 360c self-driving vehicle sports an ultra-modern exterior and interior look that is sure to be admired by drivers ready to ditch their current car.
Trend Themes
