The interior design differs it from today's automobiles, what is clear at the latest when looking at the extremely tidy dashboard. The steering wheel is foldable and can disappear in the dashboard when the driver wants to give control to vehicle electronics. An exciting vision for the future is also the windshield, for this is executed in full size as a head-up display and allows comprehensive information of the occupants. Classic ad instruments or displays can be avoided therefore, their absence contributes to the reduced Interior. As a further development of the modern HUDs, the disc will dominate the representation of augmented reality and right there show the inmates information, where they are especially relevant - from the ideal line up to warnings of acute danger. If the driver wants to drive temporarily not even, he can hire a smart companion with the control of the vehicle and concentrate on other aspects of everyday life.
