The Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR on display at CES 2020 in Las Vegas.thinks the future of autonomous driving could look a lot like a 10-year-old movie.
The German luxury automaker unveiled a unique new concept car, which is influenced by the 2009 blockbuster sci-fi movie "Avatar" and designed with the input of Academy Award-winning director James Cameron, at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Tuesday. Called the Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR, the futuristic concept car is meant to be both sustainable and autonomous. The car features a 110 kilowatt-hour electric motor that can produce 469 horsepower and a range of roughly 435 miles.
The car doesn't have a steering wheel, as Mercedes and Cameron instead imagine the car's center console would recognize "the human driver's heartbeat and breath so man and machine literally merge into a fully intuitive experience," Mercedes said in aThe Vision AVTR would establish "a biometric connection with the driver," according to the release.
With regard to sustainability, the Vision AVTR would hypothetically be powered by battery technology using graphene, another technology based in reality.
