If you have a self-driving car, it should be able to drive for a long time, right? Well, that's what Nissan must have thought when the developed the IMx all-electric crossover concept. This newly debuted concept is a taste of the Intelligent Mobility philosophy taken up by Nissan, a mantra that they are following to change everything about how cars work with society.
Nissan has developed an advanced system called the ProPILOT, that is present in the IMx. This mode is intended to make driving fully autonomous, allowing the vehicle's passengers to do whatever they deem as you move towards your destination. Activating this mode will also retract the steering wheel and dashboard while reclining the seats to give things a much more spacious chill zone.
The IMx Concept is part of Nissan's EV platform as well. With electric motors on each wheel, this fully electric car has 430 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque while still being able to drive more than 372 miles on a single charge.
The interior of the vehicle has a very traditional Japanese theme. Indicated by the diagonal seat patterns and headrests based off of Japanese interlocking wood puzzles. The headrests are actually made from silicon-material cushioning and a frame created by a 3D printer. The nontraditional part of the IMx is that the internal A.I. system will allow the driver to use the instrument panel with hand gestures and eye movements.
You could see the IMx Zero-Emission concept yourself at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, or if you don't want to travel that far, check out the video of it posted below.
