Volvo's new driverless car concept shows how we will travel in the future
VolvoOn Wednesday, Volvo revealed Concept 26 - the company's vision of what riding inside a driverless vehicle will be like in the future.
Self-driving cars will change how we travel in a lot of ways, but one of the biggest shifts will likely be how much more free time we will have while getting from point A to point B.
Volvo knows this and wants to give its customers an enhanced experience while being chauffeured around in their autonomous vehicles, so it came up with Concept 26, an interior design concept and a platform for the driverless age.
The concept has three modes: Drive, Create, and Relax.
Unlike other companies working on self-driving cars, Volvo says that even once cars are fully autonomous, people will still want the option to take manual control, which is why it created the "Drive" mode.
While in "Drive," the car minimizes distractions and allows for the driver to take back manual control of the car.
