Audi Aicon Concept

Among the many treats at the Frankfurt Auto Show this year, the autonomous luxury car of the future was a standout display. The Audi Aicon Concept is designed to show what the self-driving, artificial intelligence controlled, future of auto touring may look like. The Aicon is named for the AI program that runs its brain.

Recognizing you by your cellphone, the AI personal assistant software PIA, can remember and learn preferences and transform your ride into a custom experience. It incorporates voice and gesture commands and holds you in first-class-worthy swivel chairs that have their own touch controls.

As expected, the Audi Aicon is still performance oriented with a super battery pack that can provide a range of up to 500 miles (800 kilometers) on a single charge. Foregoing levers, pedals, and even a steering wheel, this sleek ride utilizes a massive sensor array that keeps you safe enough it doesn’t even bother with seat belts.
