Rinspeed’s new concept Tesla Model S is basically a self-driving living room

46 sec read

The 2014 Geneva Motor Show is now just a couple of weeks away, and Swiss design and engineering firm Rinspeed has released details on a new concept car it plans to present at its home event. Rinspeed’s new concept, called the XchangE, explores the potential designs an autonomous car could yield, taking a conventional sedan, in this case an all-electric Tesla Model S, and using it to demonstrate all the benefits that a driver could enjoy if the task of driving was no longer required.

We’ve seen some pretty amazing concept cars come from Rinspeed in the past, but this one has to be one of our favorites. On display at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show early next month, the XchangE turns the Tesla Model S into a “living room on wheels.” The autonomous vehicle will not only drive itself, but is equipped with a 32-inch 4k monitor and reclining seats to make you feel like you’re cruising around in a private jet rather than a four-door sedan. The intense luxury doesn’t stop at the television. A built-in espresso machine keeps you powered up for the ride, and If you’re traveling for work rather than play, the vehicle’s “Business-to-Car” platform ensures you not only have access to all the web services you need, but are surfing safely.
