LG introduced a handful of automotive-related products at CES and now we’re taking a look at the Alpha-able mobility concept. Pitched as a “personalized digital cave,” the concept is built around the themes of Transformable, Explorable, and Relaxable. Starting with the first, LG believes the interior of the future should be able to “physically transform to suit different situations or purposes; turning into a restaurant to dine, an office to work in, or even a movie theatre-on-wheels.”
In order to deliver this, the concept is
equipped with transparent, flexible and rollable displays that come in a
variety of form factors. The company also made use of home appliance
technologies, but they didn’t elaborate. On the Explorable side, LG wants
vehicles to “understand the unique context of each journey, factoring in travel
destination, travel duration and other variables to realize a smarter journey
complete with tailored content recommendations.” The company believes this
could be achieved by artificial intelligence as voice assistants could deliver
more relevant information and options.
For those looking to relax, LG envisions
owners could slip into heated massaging seats while screens display calming scenes
such as a “beautiful virtual garden.” The company even mentioned an “AI
counseling session to help them unpack their day.” Besides the Alpha-able, LG
introduced a new Bon Voyage. It’s now the size of a small camper as it
apparently measures 3.8 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 2.2 meters tall.
It’s billed as a “customized living space
designed to extend the life quality at home to nature.” As such, it features a
large upper compartment that can be outfitted with a bed. The model can also be
equipped with a refrigerator, water purifier, and an electric stove.
