As a driver, driving can be a chore, long hours, traffic, fatigue, accidents, other road users, so many things to worry about and time wasted, but what if the car could drive itself so I can spend my time doing the things that matter the most to me?

I went to Gothenburg, the home of Volvo cars to check out the 360c, a concept car that represents the way Volvo cars envisions in a holistic view of a future of travel that is autonomous, electric, connected and safe. Would we still need air travel when connecting domestically?

Aesthetically, the 360c looks both futuristic for this current climate but still friendly so when seen on the road, it’s not intimidating. The tail lights and headlights are designed to still resemble vehicles as we know it and the location of the 360 is where you’d have a number plate. You get sensors and cameras for a 360 view and scanning of the surrounding, the light strip wrapped around the car will give both light and sound signals for other road users and the panoramic and glass upper area will act as both windows and a dynamic display so whether you decide to look outside, display a virtual location example a sunset or if you want to have a business meeting there whilst displaying the latest business forecasts, you can do so.

Fully autonomous and electric travel offers a range of advanced safety and environmental benefits, such as less pollution, less traffic congestion, and related health and lifestyle advantages for those living in cities. It also opens up possibilities for more residential freedom, reduced pressure on real estate pricing and more affordable home ownership.

Looking at two different interior concepts, the first one showcases what it would be like to have your own business class lounge or a hotel room on the move; you can slide the chair when you want to have a nap, the side tray can store your clothing, and a second layer for a three course meal with drinks and when you want to be entertained, you have a big display just for that.

The second scenario shows a 4-seater set up where you can host your business partners, or have a meeting, have some family time if it were a road trip and even have a party in party mode when heading out on a night out. From designing the first three-point seatbelt in 1959 to the 2018 360c concept, it’s clear that Volvo cars are already investing time in thinking about what the future holds, and I’m excited.

Focusing a little more on safety, the Volvo cars are calling for a global standard for autonomous vehicles, meaning when it comes to safety, all manufacturers should abide by a standard that results in a better safety for autonomous vehicles.

Imagine a world in which you travel long distances without the need for airports. A world in which you can avoid airport security, hours of queuing and waiting, and noisy, cramped airliners. What if, instead, you could take your own first-class private cabin that picks you up at home and takes you from door to door? What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments below.
