Rinspeed Oasis Concept
Rinspeed's self-driving Oasis Concept is here to win
over people looking to catch a glimpse into the future of urban motoring.
This practical and maneuverable Swiss vehicle is by
no means just a functional machine like the Google Car, but rather the
"real thing" when it comes to what we can expect from the so-called
car of the future.
The Oasis can be many things to many people, from a
small delivery vehicle to a regular full-electric commuting car. Its cabin
features two armchairs, a sideboard, TV, virtual and augmented reality 5K
widescreen and a multifunction steering wheel that is truly multifunctional.
You can apparently grow flowers, radishes
or even little Bonsai trees right under the windscreen, but that's hardly the
sole purpose of this highly connected, fully-autonomous concept - you can use
it as an office on wheels and you can share it with other users that need a
ride.
When you've decided its time to pick up
a passenger, you can choose who you want to share your car with by interest or
profession with an innovative app from MHP.
The car's personal
assistant is also available to the owner from within his smart home thanks to
the Harman Cloud Platform. As for its fancy 5K display, it uses holographic
laser projection technology developed by WayRay, thus making the area covered
by displays significantly larger than in conventional head-up displays used
today.
The Oasis concept will be on display at CES in the
Hard Rock Hotel within the Harman Venue from January 4th through 7th, and from
January 9th through the 22nd at NAIAS in Detroit.
