German automobile manufacturer Audi AG (OTC: VWAGY) has recently announced its newest Grand Sphere concept vehicle as a "private jet for the road." This electric vehicle has been created with the intention of luxury private travel.
Inside the car is the capability of turning into a "first class lounge" if the car is in self-driving mode, which involves a steering column that can maintain adequate amounts of space for the driver and passenger.
The Grand Sphere concept car stands for the goals that Audi believes that it is capable of attaining, given that it caters to both self-driving and electric cars, in the eyes of company executives. Audi intends to provide only electric vehicles by the year 2033.
Hildegard Wortmann, head of Audi's sales and marketing, stated this past Thursday, regarding the introduction of the Grand Sphere concept vehicle, "It is the future of Audi. We are at the dawn of a new era of mobility."
The Audi Grand Sphere concept vehicle is unique, in that it has been specially made in order to function independently, without the guidance or assistance of any driver. There is no other car on the market that has these same self-driving capabilities. Rather than looking at a screen, the vehicle's operating system can stand on the top of the wood dashboard beneath the windshield. When the driver is prepared to drive oneself, the manual controls show up automatically.
The Grand Sphere concept car is Audi's second vehicle in a succession of three, which Audi stated would "reinvent mobility as we know it today." The very first one was the Skysphere, which appeared rather daunting to most. Each of the cars was described as having a "sphere," or a 3D depiction of a ring, in every one of the representations.
Audi's new Grand Sphere concept electric vehicle, with all its captivating features, will surely attract customers. It will motivate those who are searching for faster and more convenient ways to transport themselves, particularly found in the self-driving feature. Moving forward, Audi's Grand Sphere concept electric vehicle will likely open customers' minds up to new possibilities, looking forward to a future that is filled with technological advancement.
