‘t hat is why nowadays all major car manufacturers and suppliers are present at the CES consumer electronics show.Everyone’s talking about driverless cars.
‘the digital world will provide the major and above all the disruptive innovations in automotive engineering,’ describes frank m. Rinspeed and their partners wanted to demonstrate what is possible in the area of connectivity today and tomorrow. The ‘etos’ is has eight HD exterior cameras the aluminum front structure and the carbon fiber passenger cell are joined together with ultra-high modulus adhesive. to make the car as light as possible, corning manufactures the glass roof and the ‘drone pad’ from especially strong, lightweight and thin gorilla glass, the same kind used in smartphones. The rinspeed ‘etos’ is styled on the technical basis of the BMW ‘ i8’. The concept connects to the traffic infrastructure

the ‘e-horizon’ provides safety and convenience features such as precise warnings of wrong-way drivers or simply gliding along smoothly in sync with the phased traffic lights. The seamless link to the traffic infrastructure such as traffic lights or traffic management systems and to other cars, lets drivers and the vehicle look far beyond their own horizon. for example, it can quickly pick up a bouquet of flowers ordered on the way home. the drone itself is capable of providing some very useful services. a set of 12,000 individually controlled LEDs can transform the platform into an electronic message board or a visual dance floor. The concept is fitted with an on-board DJI drone complete with landing platform in the rear. The landing pad is outfitted with 12,000 LEDs

if they represent an accident hazard, the driver receives an appropriate warning. people and objects in the entire vehicle surroundings are detected and tracked automatically. this makes 180 degree panoramic views in front of the vehicle and behind possible, and provides virtual mirror with an expanded field of vision that has no blind spots.
should it be necessary to enter a command, the ‘etos’ responds promptly to voice commands, gestures, touch input, controller or the push of a button.Ī total of eight HD exterior cameras visually monitor the vehicle surroundings completely. the system thinks along, anticipates needs and provides entertainment, connectivity and maximum safety. The concept features vertical door hingesĪ matching fit is provided by the infotainment experience that harman connected car technologies adds in the vehicle.
the position of the two curved 21.5 inch HD widescreen monitors is individually adjustable to provide an even better view of the displayed contents. this creates lots of space in front of the driver who can grab and read a book in comfort or can work in a relaxed atmosphere. The technical highlight in the interior of the ‘etos’ is the folding and retracting steering wheel from ZF TRW. The ‘etos’ is built around the BMW ‘i8’ chassis and drivetrain
