It looks like foreign auto companies are betting heavily on all-electric and autonomous cars, judging from the concept vehicles they are showing the public. They still look like cars, and good-looking ones for the most part. The Mercedes-Benz is a bit over the top, but I’m sure that’s where they were aiming. It will be curious to see if legislation and automotive standards—such as one for a car battery that works in wide variety of makes and models—will be prepared for the technology.
