Nissan’s new Xmotion concept car is full of touchscreens and has its own virtual assistant
It’s more computer than car.
Nissan has unveiled a new concept car filled with touchscreens that can be controlled by eye movements and voice controls.
As part of the Japanese car giant’s appearance at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit it showed off the Xmotion, which the firm says offers a glimpse into its future design thinking.
The dashboard is made up entirely of a digital display, with another touchscreen on the central console between the front seats.
The car giant said the vehicle then links with a driver’s smartphone to gather destination information and general navigation tools, as well as load music and other preferences into the vehicle for the journey.
Nissan says there’s also a “digital room mirror” – which is in place of a rear view mirror – in the ceiling of the Xmotion.
In the case of the Xmotion, for now Nissan says it has no plans to put the car into production, and it is just a “design study” at the moment.
