During the IAA (Frankfurt Motorshow) 2017, Audi showed the public the Aicon Concept, an autonomous EV. The "design study" showcases the automaker's vision of a world without steering wheels, pedals or the stress of driving.
The autonomous EV will have a range up to 800 kilometers (497 miles). There's also the luxurious interior (the automaker compares it to first-class seating) which has swivel chairs that lean back and have integrated touch controls and it's perfect for overnight long-distance driving. Or just cruising through the countryside.
To keep you in the know, the Aicon also uses Audi's artificial-intelligence assistant PIA to offer up services before the passengers ask for them, based on situations and historical learnings. But that's not all, the car would also have eye tracking, with support for voice commands and gesture controls. Basically, it's all the things crammed into a silver tourer.
The company also envisions a world filled with sensor-heavy cars avoiding each other and obstacles so well, that restraint systems (seat belts) will no longer be needed. That of course relies on all cars being as safe and it's going to take a very long time (if ever) for that to happen.
Still it's not hard to imagine a world where luxury autonomous cars cater to the same people that fly first class and have AMEX black cards. The Aicon may seem like pie-in-the-sky science fiction today, but in a few decades, it could be how the rich tour the countryside.
