They called it the Oasis Concept, and its an
electric vehicle with autonomous drive technology. The description above is an
understatement of what the Oasis is, because the vehicle is something that you
do not see every day. The feature that you will not encounter in any other car
is the layer of soil placed under the windshield, which allows the owner to
grow plants on it.
Because the Oasis drives itself, the two occupants
will not be bothered by the fact that the windshield could be affected by
humidity from the plants. Instead of a head-up display, the windshield of this
concept vehicle can be turned into a TV, which is something that is done to
help the occupants relax on their trips.
Rinspeed has also equipped the Oasis with a
"micro-delivery box," which can be cooled or heated to maintain the
freshness of the packages that can be placed inside. You could keep your ice cream fresh in there,
but you can also get pizza or some takeaway food back home and still have it
warm when you arrive.
If the occupants do not want to carry hot or cold
things in the box, it can house a power bank from EVA Fahrezeugtechnik, which
would be employed to increase the range of the vehicle. Rinspeed has imagined
this concept to have multiple uses, and it even integrates a digital access
system from Huf to allow multiple people to share a car like this without
meeting to hand over the keys.
The specialists at SAP have employed a system to
help the users personalize their experience with user profiles, which change
when a different user is onboard to allow a custom ambiance inside. Harman
Kardon’s 24-channel audio system helps set the mood, and the two seats can be
turned into luxury recliners with a touch of a button.
In spite of the fact that this vehicle is designed
for autonomous operation, it does have a foldable steering wheel from ZF, which
can be turned into a keyboard or a work surface. It even integrates
Skype video telephony with live translation, along with the Office productivity
software
