As the world of technology continue to dabble more with Artificial Intelligence (AI), vehicle manufacturers seem
to have jumped onto the bandwagon as well. Without skipping a beat, motor shows across the world have seen
the emergence of performance electric vehicles (EV) that carry AI and autonomous driving capabilities to a
certain degree. Here are a few that caught the eye of Vital News.
» AUDI AICON » » »
» HONDA SPORTS EV CONCEPT » » »
Revealed at the 2017
Tokyo Motor Show, the
Honda Sports EV is a fully
electric vehicle that packs
performance and AI into a
compact little two-seater
coupe that smiles at the
prospect of a carbon-free
future.
Don’t be alarmed if you
don’t know what to do
with this one. It has no
steering wheel or pedals!
The Audi Aicon is a fully
autonomous EV that has a
range of up to 435 miles.
Showcased at the 2017
Frankfurt Motor Show, the
interior looks more like a
spaceship, than a car.

Whilst other electrified
vehicles move towards
sleeker aesthetics.
BMW’s X7 iPerformance
unapologetically makes
its SUV statement. This
big luxury concept is
expected to hit the market
late-2018 and is said to
firmly hold its own against
the Mercedes-Benz GLS
and Audi Q7. This fierce little stunner
was first showcased
in Tokyo, giving us a
glimpse of what the
next-generation Lexus LS
flagship saloon will look
like when it launches in
2020. The LS+ boasts the
use of automated driving
technology, backed by AI.
