Mercedes Plots Turning Car Into a Self-Driving Luxury Lounge

Mercedes-Benz aims to transform the car into a rolling luxury lounge that chauffeurs passengers autonomously.
In the F 015 concept vehicle, the front seats can swivel to the rear as the steering wheel recedes into the instrument panel and the car takes control. Sculpted open-pore walnut wood veneers and ice-white leather add to the chill-out ambiance of the interior, while six screens allow passengers to interact with the machine via touch, hand gestures and eye-tracking.
