Mercedes-Benz F015 Concept

It's hard to believe, but within 10 years, cars will be driving themselves. This concept isn't likely to surface before then, but Mercedez-Benz’s self-driving car clearly stood out among the more conventional offerings. It was first unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show last week and has a futuristic space-like feel with a sloping exterior and gull doors that open to the ceiling. It's intended to answer the question: How would a future Mercedes look if it were designed from the ground up for autonomous driving? There's no need to have a driver behind the wheel; this car borrows from the horse-drawn carriage of the past, with seats that face each other to facilitate interaction. A touch screen allows the passengers to give directions.
