This is Volvo"s new 360c autonomous concept and, as you can see, it"s of the 100 per cent autonomous, mobile relaxation chamber ilk. Now, we"ve seen several of these futuristic electric concepts released with the ethos of changing the way you use cars", but it usually boils down to less sitting in traffic, more homely comforts and social spaces. And the crux is broadly similar here. Except for one major point Volvo wants the 360c to do more than merely "transform unproductive or boring travel time into useful and enjoyable minutes or hours on the road". It wants to replace your air miles with well, road miles. Yep, Volvo wants you to swerve the airport entirely and use its cars to drive you all the way from A to Z, not just A to B. The theory is that you can do away with the usual rigmarole of crammed airports and cramped aeroplanes by travelling in your own private cabin. OK, we have a few ideas why you"d rather fly than drive to Dubai, Volvo, but sure, we can roll with it.
