BMW Vision Next 100

The BMW Vision Next 100 is a prototype car presented in 2016 and fitted with an autonomous driving system, which BMW showed in honour of the hundredth anniversary of the brand. It has two driving modes, Boost and Ease. In Boost the driver stays in control while a head-up display covering the whole windscreen shows speed and cornering lines, and warns of vehicles crossing the car's path in poor visibility. In Ease the autopilot drives, the seats turn so that the driver and front passenger face each other, and the display shows what the occupants need. The concept has 800 active triangular elements on the body panels and the centre console, called Alive Geometry, which can point out the next turn or warn of traffic. Its drag coefficient is 0.18, and renewable or recycled materials were used, including carbon fibre parts made from offcuts left over from other cars.
