Self-driving electric Smart car announced

Daimler has announced its self-driving'friendly' electric Smart car, geared toward urban ride sharing, will debut at next month's Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany. The car, dubbed the Smart Vision EQ ForTwo, is a fully-autonomous vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals that riders can hail with an app, much like an Uber taxi. Passengers can then pick fellow riders based on their mutual interests, and the car will even suggest topics of conversation to stop things getting awkward. The outside of the car sports a panel on the front that displays welcome messages, destinations, who it is picking up and even warnings to other cars and pedestrians.
