BMW AG has launched a new concept car called i Vision Future Interaction at the annual Consumer Electronics Show. The model is based on the i8 Concept Spyder. It is available in three driving modes called Pure Drive, Assist, and Auto.

In Pure Drive mode, the concept is an open-top sports car, controlled by the driver. In Assist mode, the driver has complete control of the concept but an array of electronic driving aids help if they detect that a collision is imminent. In Auto mode the concept drives itself.

The steering wheel retracts by a few inches to give the driver extra space, and the concept-specific seats automatically offers less bolstering to give the occupants more freedom to move.
