Concept cars, research cars, which are often rather shabby-looking. But here is the exception: the Mercedes-Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion. F 015 Luxury in Motion is the utmost reflection of the Mercedes way of interpreting the terms “modern luxury”, emotion and intelligence. One core theme of the innovative interior concept is a continuous exchange of information between vehicle, passengers and the outside world, thus making the interior of the F 015 Luxury in Motion a digital living space.

Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars emphasizes “Anyone who focuses solely on the technology has not yet grasped how autonomous driving will change our society”.   The visionary research vehicle which raises comfort and luxury to a new level by offering a maximum of space and a lounge character on the inside. Every facet of the F 015 Luxury in Motion is the utmost reflection of the Mercedes way of interpreting the terms “modern luxury”, emotion and intelligence.

 This back to the future creation has had such a varied life that its maker refuses to call it a "concept." They call it a research project instead thus the name - the 'F' is a German prefix denoting 'research vehicle' status.

 Not only luxury car maker like Mercedes, tech giants such as Google Uber and Tesla also hard at work developing autonomous technology, so are established automakers like GM and Ford. In July 2016, BMW became the first major car-maker to abandon its solo development of self-driving cars in favor of teaming up with chipmaker Intel and camera and software manufacturer Mobileye to build a platform for autonomous cars technology by 2021. When self-driving cars eventually do go on sale, it may be a long time before you can afford one by your own. But it is not too bad to add this futuristic ride to your bucket list?
