Volvo Cars reveals today with its new Volvo 360c concept, a holistic view of a future of travel that is autonomous, electric, connected and safe. It could open up new growth markets for Volvo Cars, for example in the multi-billion dollar domestic air travel industry. \u201cAutonomous vehicle concepts have a tendency to become a technology showcase instead of a vision of how people use it,\u201d said Robin Page, senior vice president of design at Volvo Cars. \u201cBut Volvo is a human-centric brand. We focus on the daily lives of our customers and how we can make them better. The 360c is the next iteration of this approach\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The basis of the 360c is a fully autonomous, fully electric car without a human driver. The concept capitalises on the freedom in design afforded by the absence of a steering wheel and a combustion engine, providing the ability to reimagine the traditional placement of passengers in rows of two or three.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The 360c presents four potential uses of autonomous driving vehicles \u2013 a sleeping environment, mobile office, living room and entertainment space \u2013 which all reimagine the way people travel. It also introduces a proposal for a global standard in how autonomous vehicles can safely communicate with all other road users.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cDomestic air travel sounds great when you buy your ticket, but it really isn\u2019t. The 360c represents what could be a whole new take on the industry\u201d, said M\u00e5rten Levenstam, senior vice president of corporate strategy at Volvo Cars. \u201cThe sleeping cabin allows you to enjoy premium comfort and peaceful travel through the night and wake up refreshed at your destination. It could enable us to compete with the world\u2019s leading aircraft makers\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>
