Some concept cars appear as though they could plausibly exist in reality. Othersโฆ not so much. The Avatar-inspired concept car that Mercedes-Benz has just revealed? It definitely leans towards the latter.
Designed in collaboration with James Cameron himself, this concept has been dubbed the Vision AVTR. It apparently has the ability to drive sideways and diagonally, though that isnโt even the wildest part about this entire affair.
True to the idea of being โorganicโ, the vehicle would be controlled via a โmultifunctional control elementโ wherein the driver is required to merge with the car to become a โsymbiotic organismโ as opposed to a traditional steering wheel โ which youโll notice a glaring lack of inside. Rightoโฆ
A bleeding-edge body, transparent doors, neon accents, and thirty-three reptilian โbionic flapsโ on the rear to help supply energy (with no further explanation regarding the โhowโ provided)โฆ nothing about the Vision AVTR doesnโt say sci-fi. And itโs safe to say we wonโt see this one traversing urban terrains for another, oh I donโt know, a thousand years?
As for the interior, thereโs no real indication that the dashboard is, in fact, a dashboard. Not within the realms of our current understanding, anyways. Nor does it resemble the interior of any roadworthy vehicle, for that matter. More like a comfortable cabin which provides a nice view to the outside environment which has been the intention.
Like I said before, itโs painfully clear that the Vision AVTR is nothing more than a concept. Still, itโs fun to think about, if youโre well-adjusted enough to experience all those questions being raised without the catharsis of receiving a single answer.
