Renault revealed its new driverless concept vehicle called the EZ-GO at the Geneva International Motor Show on Tuesday. EZ-GO is a Level 4 driverless vehicle, so it can change lanes, turn at an intersection, and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of it. Users will be able to access the EZ-GO from an app or from fixed locations and will enter through a hatch which opens at the front of the vehicle, which also make the auto wheelchair accessible. The EZ-GO can accomodate up to 6 people at a time and features a U-shaped seating arrangement, making the ride a social experience.
Renault revealed their new SYMBIOZ autonomous vehicle at the Frankfurt Motor Show on Tuesday. The front two seats can turn to face the back two during autonomous mode, when the car navigates itself using Renaults 'EASY DRIVE' technology. The finished Symbiozis design will be capable of propelling from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just six seconds and will boast a range of about 310 miles on a single charge as well as an eco-friendly 500 kW fully electric engine.
Ferrari debued their newest supercar, the limited edition LaFerrari Aperta, the convertible version of the original LaFerrari, at the Paris Motor Show on Thursday. However, don't get your hopes up - all 200 models were sold out before the exotic auto was even unveiled. 200 ultra high net worth individuals have already shelled out the 1.86 million euros to reserve the LaFerrari Aperta without ever having even seen the car, earning Ferrari about 372 million euro in revenue.
Volkswagen presented their new electric car, dubbed the I.D., at the 2016 Paris Motor Show at the Porte de Versailles exhibition centre on Wednesday. The I.D. is expected to be available to consumers in 2020 and Volkswagen has announced that an autonomous driving option will become available in 2025. The five-door hatchback with rear-wheel drive has an electric motor positioned at its tail, freeing up space at the front of the vehicle and providing a motor output of 168 horsepower. The car is expected to be able to travel between 250 to 375 miles on a single charge and has options for wired and wireless fast charging capabilities.
Electric car prototypes and plans are set to dominate the Paris auto show as the Volkswagen diesel scandal and falling battery costs persuade executives and investors that plug-in vehicles are ready to go mainstream. But, as Ivor Bennett reports, not every major automaker chose to go this year.
