Nissan has channelled its self-driving, artificially intelligent plans into this, the reassuringly car-shaped Vmotion 2.0.Top Gear spoke to Nissan about its new Intelligent Mobility" philosophy at last week"s CES show in Las Vegas, but there was no new car demonstrating it. A few days later, on the other side of North America, the Detroit show has yielded this four-door concept.Its styling is said to give a hint at where the next Altima, Maxima and Murano are going. These, most readers will note, are not cars really available in Europe. What"s more interesting is what lies beneath the skin, namely the interior from a not-too-distant future where cars drive themselves.So there"s some supremely comfy seats, natural materials, a large, sweeping screen, and a less-than-round steering wheel. The latter looks primed and ready to fold away when you opt to let the car drive itself.
