CES: Mercedes Envisions Future Autonomous Luxury Vehicle

Dieter Zetsche, CEO of Mercedes parent company Daimler AG, unveiled the F 015 concept luxury vehicle earlier this week at CES. “The front seats can swivel to the rear as the steering wheel recedes into the instrument panel and the car takes control,” Bloomberg explains. “Sculpted open-pore walnut wood veneers and ice-white leather add to the chill-out ambiance of the interior, while six screens allow passengers to interact with the machine via touch, hand gestures and eye-tracking.” The so-called Luxury in Motion prototype, which Zetsche describes as “a mobile living space,” is part of an effort by upscale manufacturers to compete with Google’s push into self-piloted vehicles. At CES, Audi showcased an autonomous A7, which arrived in Las Vegas after a 560-mile journey.
