BMW<\/span><\/a>\u2019s most daring concept was conspicuously absent from the <\/span>Festival Automobile International<\/span><\/a> in Paris, where a slew of its competitors lifted the hood on their concept cars for the future. However we were still treated to ideas of what BMW does intend for its future. BMW has been steadily keeping its eye on its 100 year anniversary. And that\u2019s where things get interesting. \u00a0Enter the <\/span>BMW Vision Next 100<\/span><\/a>. The vehicle is purposed for the next century of car making with hopes of anticipating every trend and wave in design that will erupt over the next 100 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In live demonstration we suddenly understand that the car is ultimately animated by touch. It shape-shifts, no buts about it. Keyless entry is engaged by swiped a finger across the door. When the driver approaches the vehicle it lights up. With a touch of an ignition button in the plush futuristic interior, the steering wheel transforms from a uniform monochromatic panel and raises to the height of the driver. In fact various panels transform upon contact with the driver. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the intrigue doesn\u2019t end there. In fact the <\/span>Vision<\/span><\/a> is animated by a series of triangular looking scales, or what it refers to as Alive Geometry, that transform the vehicle. The exterior benefits from a lining of these scales along the wheels, opening and expanding when the wheels turn in motion. In the interior the same is true for a host of design accessories that range from the dashboard devices to driverless automation. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And speaking of driverless automation, BMW has that covered as well. Should the driver decide to take a breather from driving, he can push a button and leave it in the more than capable wheels of the Vision. And what\u2019s most impressive about this is the car\u2019s ability to predict what may happen on the road. <\/span><\/p>\n

In their demo video, the <\/span>Vision<\/span><\/a> sees a biker crossing behind a delivery truck and predicts the biker\u2019s merging into oncoming traffic. Rather than plowing directly into the biker blindly, it anticipates his speed and time of arrival so in order to slow down. The same is true for navigating the roadway when pedestrians cross. It will come to a complete stop when necessary and signal pedestrians to cross with its very own green light. How\u2019s that for thinking ahead?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BMW for its part unveiled its <\/span>slick futuristic vehicle<\/span><\/a> at a press conference it held on March 7th of 2016 in Munich, 100 years to the day of BMW\u2019s inception. One year later we are still salivating at the thought of some real world trial testing of the Vision. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
