What has been done by Tesla Motors in the last few years
could give some idea about the cars in the future. Simply put, there are two criteria
of the cars in the future: electric engine and automatic steering capability.
If two of these criteria have been met, manufacturers only need to add an extra
touch to make the cars more unique than the other competitors.
Rolls-Royce, the British luxury car manufacturer recently
introduces the Rolls-Royce 103EX, the realization of its vision of a luxury car
in the future. Through this concept car, Rolls-Royce wants to redefine the
luxury standard for the next 100 years.
Viewed from any angle, the exterior of 103EX is still
maintaining the distinctive elements that have been carried by Rolls-Royce
since the beginning of its work in the automotive industry. Futuristic face is
a must, but at the same time still maintains the characteristics of the brand
itself.
Rolls-Royce 103EX has a unique interior; its dashboard is
not equipped with a steering wheel at all because this car is designed to be
able to drive by itself in order to meet the criteria of sophisticated car in
the future.
The car's owners will be pampered on the seat that looks
very comfortable just like a sofa in an upscale lounge. It is wrapped in silk
and contains soft wool, so arguably this is the softest car seat ever. The
luxurious feel in the cabin is reinforced by the presence of woolen carpet and
original wood paneling along the door.
The absence of the steering wheel not only makes the cabin
feel more spacious, but also allows the placement of wide OLED display panel
along the dashboard. This screen will display the relevant information along
the way, or it could also present your favorite shows, guided by artificial
intelligence system named "Eleanor".
Compared to the BMW Vision Next 100 which is still in the
same holding company, Rolls-Royce 103EX seems much more 'daring' because the
cabin is not equipped with the steering wheel at all. Apart from that, this
Rolls-Royce concept car explains that the luxury car in the future is
essentially a running lounge - it's able of spoiling the passengers in a
digital chamber while travelling.
