| The Mercedes-Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion research car and its immersive user experience is an innovative perspective into the future of mobility. |
This 5.2-metre-long roadgoing spaceship is powered by hydrogen, generates its own electricity, emits no carbon dioxide and has a total range of 684 miles - oh, and let's not forget, is capable of driving itself. The body structure is a hybrid of carbon fibre reinforced plastic, aluminium and high-strength steel, so it's as rigid and strong as a standard Mercedes production model but is around 40% lighter.
It even has driver's seat facing away from the road. Self-driving cars could replace 14 regular cars, so long as people were happy to car pool and allow an average of 15 percent extra commuting time. And on top of that, parking space requirements would drop by 80 percent. Predicted to hit roads by 2020.
