The Rolls-Royce Vision 100 concept is completely, irredeemably ridiculous

Rolls-Royce is a marque known for being exceptional, and today it truly lived up to its name with the unveiling of a new Vision 100 concept car. It's part of parent company BMW's centenary celebrations, envisioning what the future of mobility will look like in another 20 or 30 years. The RR answer is simply staggering in the extremism of its opulence and swagger. I witnessed it rolling in to the stage here in London this morning, and it felt like I was attending the inauguration of a giant cruise ship. Measuring nearly 20 feet in length (5.9m) and five feet tall, the Vision 100 dwarfs its occupants and nearby attendants in a way that even the grandest present-day Rolls-Royces can't quite match.
In introducing the car, Rolls-Royce referred to it as "her," and with good reason. The Spirit of Ecstasy figurine that sits proudly at the front of the car has also been personified in the form of an AI called Eleanor inside the car. "She's your ethereal concierge," says Rolls-Royce, and she handles most things around the vehicle in response to your voice commands. Like any good AI, she will learn about you over time, remembering your preferred routes, restaurants, and apparently even your taste in art. The Vision 100 is a fully autonomous, zero-emissions vehicle, and it serves to underline BMW's expressed belief that electric drive is the future.

The incredible thing about the grandiose car on show today was that it was just a two-seater. I know of apartments in London and San Francisco with less space than you'll find inside Rolls-Royce's concept. There's a sofa — couch, for our American readers — on the inside and no steering wheel or instrument panel to speak of. Rolls-Royce describes those things as "superfluous in this model." Instead, residents within the confines of this luxury coc00n are presented with a full cabin-width transparent OLED display. The interior is dominated by Massacar wood, and includes a carpet of "hand-twisted silk" and "further extraordinarily soft silk" on the upholstery.

I aint gonna front I like the idea of the large leather front seat....:ehh:

The color scheme is kinda hot...:ehh:

I do like the way the door and roof open...:ehh:

But they need to take off the horrible wheels & coverings.:mjlol: Redesign the back, front and sides,:mjlol:

The car could be more but for an entirely remote electronic driven car with a couch in the back :mjlol:

There should be an option to DRIVE this bytch...:russ::mjlol:

The bench-like front seat isn't anything new, design wise. Many pickup trucks still have that. They skipped on the headrests knowing that would ruin the smooth look.
Redesign the back, front and sides? That's 3/4ths of the car. :russ:

Front suicide doors and missing side view mirrors wouldn't get past US safety tests.
If you need to inflate the front tires, you would have to rotate the wheel until you can access the tire stem if it isn't visible.
