The future of automotive transportation, huh? Many so-called futurists have attempted to predict what we’ll all be driving five, 10 or even 15 years from now, but there seem to be more questions than answers. Will we even be driving at all? It would seem that Swiss design studio Rinspeed sees us piloting tiny little electrically operated vehicles from point A to point B, alongside teenagers that like to hang out in urban areas riding skateboards and jumping over obstacles. At least that latter part doesn’t sound all that different from today, right?
Moving on to more interesting things, namely Rinspeed’s awkwardly named and Geneva-bound UC? Concept, we see plenty of in-car communications and entertainment systems that apparently work along with the mobile phone in your pocket. Wait a second, is that a scratch? No worries! Just take out the handy-dandy color-matched BandAid in your pocket and you’re good to go!
Need to go farther than the UC?s (ugh, that name!) 65-mile range will allow? Simply pull into your special parking space in the city-to-city electric train, plug your car in for good measure, and you’re off with nary a care in the world. All that’s left is to tell all your BFFs about your day via the in-car Twitter interface. Isn’t technology grand? Click past the break to see for yourself.
