Behold Renault"s vision for a low-cost shared city Robo-Taxi of the, er, fairly distant future. It"s called the EZ-GO. They unveiled it today at the Geneva Show, a counterpart to the rather sexy luxury personal autonomous SYMBIOZ car and gorgeous connected house they showed at Paris last autumn. Renault does reckon to have autonomous robo-taxis in service by 2022, but they doubtless won"t look like this. Sadly. The EZ-GO is a pretty full-on metamorphosis of the automobile. Let"s begin with the side doors. Of which there are none. Instead the interior is one big U-shaped sofa. At the open end of the U is a big upward-hinging door, with a ramp onto the road. Think cross-channel ferry. It"s a brilliantly simple way to get up to six people sociably arranged around the vehicle, and to give wheelchairs and pushchairs simple roll-in roll-out access.
