Volvo Volvo filed a patent application for a steering wheel that slides side to side within a car's cabin. The design would allow passengers in a highly automated vehicle of the future to move the steering wheel out of the way and have more room to stretch out. Although driver-assistance systems are the new craze, true autonomous vehicles — cars that will allow for driving without any human intervention — are still nowhere close to hitting the streets. The feature could also come into play in a highly automated future vehicle, enabling passengers to slide the wheel out of the way when the driver-assistance system takes over, according to the filing.

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.

Le constructeur suédois Volvo Cars tire profit des capacités de la montre connectée Band 2 de l'Américain Microsoft pour commander à distance le chauffage, les vitres ou la navigation de la voiture. "Nous n’innovons pas pour le plaisir d’innover. Lorsqu’un système ne rend pas la vie de nos clients plus facile, plus belle, plus sûre et plus agréable, nous ne le retenons pas. Mais honnêtement : qui n’a pas rêvé de parler à sa voiture à travers un bracelet comme dans les films ?", s’interroge Klas Bendrik, Vice-Président senior et Directeur des technologies de l’information chez Volvo Car Group. Pas sûr toutefois que tout le monde apprécie de jouer les David Hasselhoff en public : balayer du doigt l'écran de son smartphone est autrement plus discret.
