Rinspeed is known for wild concepts that push the boundaries of what’s possible and stimulate our imaginations. Â The Rinspeed XchangE Concept is next in line and will be shown at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show next month. Â The XchangE does not transform into various shapes and it’s not amphibious. Â Instead, it’s a concept that shows what autonomous cross-country driving may look like in the near future.
XchangE starts life as a Tesla Model S and gets a mild exterior update with new front and rear facias. Â The big story is on the inside. Â This all-electric luxury liner has a reconfigurable dashboard, seating positions, a multitude of screens and monitors, and a cappuccino machine. The point of this vehicle is to show what a fully autonomous car’s interior should look like and function like.
XchangE actually has redundant steer-by-wire system with a sliding steering wheel. Â It’s touch sensitive and will let you take over the driving. Â You can drive it from the left-hand side or pass the steering wheel to your front passenger.
