# Self-Driven Autos The ZMP RoboCar is a Brainy Design By Alex Scott | Published 2010-02-26 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zmp-robocar References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/zmp-robocar-g-soon-to-be-available-to-researchers/) & [zmp.co.jp](http://www.zmp.co.jp/e_html/products_rc-z.html) Now at first glance this car doesn't appear too special, just another [three-wheeled electric vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars), but it is the features of the car, not the design, that make it so coveted. The ZMP RoboCar is looking to be one of the first [all automated autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-driving-system). Right now available to only researchers and car developers, the ZMP RoboCar is apparently loaded to the max with [sensors that help the driver navigate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-driving-system) with ease and it also comes with a control that allows you to drive the car remotely. I think I saw that in a James Bond film once. Fingers crossed they contact me for a test drive! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Automated Vehicles:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating fully automated vehicles for commercial use. - **Sensor Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing advanced sensors for enhanced navigation and safety in vehicles. - **Remote Control Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in remote control systems for vehicles, enabling remote driving capabilities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry by developing and manufacturing automated vehicles. - **Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the technology industry through the advancement and commercialization of sensor technology for various applications. - **Telecommunications:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the telecommunications industry by developing advanced remote control technology for vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Interactive Autonomous Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robo-a2z-delivery-vehicle.md) - [Autonomous Vehicle Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tensor-robocar.md) - [Open-Air Autonomous Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-adaptor.md) - [Luxury Self-Driving Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drive-pilot.md) - [Child Mobility Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-ev.md) - [Automated Vehicle Maneuverability Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-drifting.md) - [Smart Mobility Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strutt-ev1.md) - [Compact Electric City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kg-motors.md)
