Rolls-Royce shows off self-driving car with silk sofa, AI-assistant for chauffeur

Rolls-Royce has unveiled the concept for its next Vision Vehicle, named103EX, which will be a driverless vehicle with its own AI-powered assistant/chauffeur called Eleanor. The Rolls Royce 103EX was unveiled at an event in London, and its unique design has received some mixed response. As this Washington Post article someone called the car'butt-ugly,' while another review called it a'sublimely crazy' idea. Rolls-Royce 103EX will actually be launching in the market somewhere around 2040s, and as this Guardian article points, the company has not revealed exactly how the car is powered, even though it is claiming zero-emissions from its new concept vehicle. The car has quite an intriguing design nonetheless with "28-inch tall, narrow wheels upon which the car glides are each hand-built from 65 individual pieces of aluminium", a luggage compartment that is right next to the front wheels, and also opens and closes automatically at the start and end of a journey.
