Revealed: the BMW ‘Vision Next 100’ idea

BMW celebrates 100 years today. Here’s the vehicle that’ll lead the party

BMW’s vision for the next 100 years is a sporting saloon. Not an SUV, not a hypercar, not a nuclear-powered flying car. Sports saloons are, says Adrian von Hooydonk, ‘the core’ of BMW.

But the BMW Vision Next 100, to provide the vehicle its full name, is likewise autonomous, shape-shifting and powered by something they won’t name.

Similar to the i8 Spider exposed at CES in January, it has two modes. You drive or it drives.

However even when you’re driving, you remain in ‘increase mode’ – boosted into a hero chauffeur. Augmented-reality guides you, projecting the perfect steering line and speed onto the windshield.

The augmented-reality display screen will also predict hidden hazards into your field of vision. BMW’s example is a bicyclist obscured by a truck. A picture of the cyclist is forecasted onto your windscreen, making the truck magically semi-transparent.

If even that is all too difficult, or you have other things to do, switch to ‘ease mode’. The steering quadrant folds away and the chairs rotate around so you can settle back and proceed with life.

Now, this shape-shifting company– or ‘alive geometry’ as van Hooydonk calls it. The armadillo-scales triangles on the dash let the car caution you, almost subliminally, of upcoming risks by opening to expose their red flipsides.

The external bodywork wears more of the exact same triangular concept. The wheels are faired in, so when the front ones turn to guide, the bodywork stretches to accommodate them. At the back of the cars and truck, the profile lengthens with speed, cutting aero drag.

At the front, the kidney grille exists and right, however van Hooydonk points out it isn’t needed as an air intake– an idea that there’s no straight-six behind there. Instead they have re-purposed the grille as a porthole for all the sensors the car needs to drive autonomously.

” If you can imagine the future, you have actually made the first step,” says AvH. He’s imagined something pretty, don’t you believe. However the future? Ideas listed below, please.
