BMW Vision iNEXT Concept Vehicle
With the LA Auto Show in full swing, BMW took the wraps off of its iNEXT SUV concept. Long billed as the Ultimate Driving Machine, BMW is taking a different turn on driving, with the iNEXT being the manufacturer's first level three autonomous vehicle. BMW views autonomous operation as a choice, with their driver-centric engineering there when wanted, and allowing the car to operate itself when the driver would rather be a passenger. The interior has plenty of tech, but BMW's designers have opted for a novel approach — everything is out of sight until requested by the driver. The open, minimalist interior reinforces the idea that you're in more of a living space than a vehicle. The iNEXT is, of course, a full EV, and BMW is eyeing a production date of 2020.
