Abstract :
CONCEPT CARS FROM some of the world\´s leading automotive manufacturers have been introduced at the International CES in Las Vegas, heralding a future change and societal shift in the role cars serve as a form of transport. Mercedes Benz debuted its \´futuristic concept\´ car, the F 015 Luxury In Motion saloon. The sleek silver shell - described as being "like a bar of soap designed by the Terminator" - has rotating front seats so the driver and front passenger can fully turn their chairs and socialise with others in the back, while the car autonomously drives itself.
