The Los Angeles auto show is a significant event that showcases the progress made by automakers throughout the year. It serves as a comprehensive overview of the advancements in the automotive industry.
Amidst the array of technological advancements in cars over the years, the BMW Vision iNext concept car stands out. Unveiled at this year’s LA auto show, it captivated every observer as intended.
It is evident that the primary goal of this concept car is to seamlessly integrate technology and enhance the driving experience for the user. Domagoj Dukec, BMW’s design chief, emphasized the importance of technology being intuitive for users. The design of the car aims to create a comfortable and user-friendly space, especially as the car can drive autonomously.
From the front to the rear interior, the BMW Vision iNext offers a sophisticated experience with various applications that make the car feel more like a home on wheels. The dashboard features a small oval steering wheel and two landscape screens: one for driver information and the other for all other functionalities.
One unique feature of the car is the interactive fabric used for the seats. By drawing a circle on the fabric, the audio level adjusts, and the upholstery lights up to confirm the action. This concept, coined as ‘shy-tech’ by BMW, is designed to be unobtrusive and only appear when necessary.
The BMW Vision iNext not only showcases speed but also creativity, utilizing human imagination to fulfill various desires.
While the production viability of this concept remains uncertain, it offers a glimpse into the future design direction of BMW vehicles as they embrace the latest technological advancements.
