Once again, technology seems to change the way in which we conduct our daily activities. It seems that the world’s first 100% electric self-driving vehicle will be making the life of US citizens a bit easier soon enough.
This intelligent vehicle is called Navia and it’s the product of a French company that goes by the name of Induct. They presented the it at this year’s Consumer Electronic Show and offered those interested the chance to get a closer look at what makes it tick.
It appears that this particular car differentiates itself from other electric vehicles as it recharges by induction, without the use of cables. Besides this, it doesn’t actually need a driver. Once you’re in the vehicle, you just select through a touchscreen where you want to go and you’re on your way.
Unfortunately, it’s not exactly the fastest vehicle out there as it runs at a speed of 12.5 miles per hour (20.11 kilometers per hour). Even so, we still think it’s fine as this is a small price to pay for having such an environmental friendly car. Yes, you won’t be seeing Induct’s Navia release any greenhouse gas emissions or even require infrastructural modifications in order to function.
Concerning its usage, most definitely you won’t be seeing it on the streets alongside BMWs or AUDIs but it’s perfect for campus areas such as business parks, universities and other similar places. So, by being a simple yet intelligent vehicle, anyone can make use of it.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
