At the last Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas motor show, Rinspeed unveiled the Oasis concept. The Oasis is an autonomous "urban sphere" made of glass with a Virtual Reality display, in case the future world of autonomy doesn"t feel quite real enough. Now it"s released a teaser of this coming winter"s Vegas centrepiece the Snap. The Swiss carmaker calls it a "comprehensive mobility ecosystem that also offers stationary use." Err, what?So, Rinspeed"s theory is that future autonomous cars will quickly be unusable because their autonomous brains will be outdated. Technology will be difficult - if not impossible- to update as systems and software become obsolete. Think how often your sat nav needs plugging in for an update.
