Last week, Mercedes
Benz has unvieled its first futuristic, driverless concept car in San
Francisco. The car named as F015 Luxury in Motion was first revealed to the
public at the Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas last September.
The car
since has received a lots of attention from all around the world. Reddit user
'GoogleplexStar' posting the pic above, commenting, "This driverless
Mercedes is cruising around San Francisco, blowing everyone's minds.".
"It needed a break from
Sunnyvale," the automaker wrote on Twitter, sharing photos of what looks
like a roadster from Blade Runner.
The F015 is
being called as “Virtual Living Room” with seating for up to 4 people with two
sets of couches facing each other. This is best for after a hard day work from
office to home. And, because its Mercedes, it comes trimmed in walnut veneer,
nappa leather, polished aluminium and glass, with soft blue LED lighting,” says
Jason Fell at Entrepreneur.
The study
from researchers pf Sweden suggest that self-driving car will decrease
instances of traffic jams and road congestion. The report, led by Pierre-Jean
Rigole from the KTH Centre for Traffic Research, says that self-driving cars
could replace 14 regular cars, so long as people were happy to car pool and
allow an average of 15 percent extra commuting time. And on top of that,
parking space requirements would drop by 80 percent.
