GM and Honda unveil self-driving car with no
steering wheel or pedals
Would you like to use a ride-sharing service?
If yes, what about a driver-less, six-seater electric van? Such an autonomous vehicle
is about to be seen on the road soon. The Origin, developed by an
autonomous-vehicle unit of GM and Honda, has no driving features like a
steering wheel, gas pedal, rearview mirrors or windshield wipers but has only seats
and seatbelts for six passengers. There is no doorknob, either. To get in this
boxy car, a rider needs to punch the code that was sent to your smartphone on
the keypad outside the vehicle. The sliding door is wide enough for two people to get in or out at the same time. You won’t be able to buy this futuristic autonomous
car as it is designed for the ride-sharing fleet. So, someday, you may be picked up
by this driverless car somewhere. No matter how accommodating and comfortable
the ride may be, it won’t ask you for a tip. That’s for sure.
But wait a minute. Is there space to put your
luggage in?
Enjoy reading the article and think if and
when you may ride a fully autonomous, electric ride-sharing vehicle without
luggage but with five other passengers.
