Very Futuristic, Autonomous Concept Car from Lincoln

Ford's luxury car division, Lincoln, has just unveiled its futuristic, electric concept car, the L100. The fascinating vehicle pays homage to Lincoln's original luxury car of 1922 and sports some fantastic, futuristic automotive technologies.  The vehicle is fully autonomous.  The steering wheel is replaced by a "chess piece controller" that is located in a center console on the dashboard. The vehicle also has no pedals.  This is a lifestyle vehicle in which the passengers enjoy the ride and entertain or occupy themselves with advanced technologies while the car drives itself.

New Technologies

This concept car is a dramatic showcase of highly advanced technologies on wheels. It's a perspective on a very exciting automotive future that Lincoln is conjuring up for travelers.  It features reverse-hinge doors that open along with the glass roof to reveal the cabin. The floor is covered with a full-length digital infotainment screen display. The seats swivel around for face-to-face conversations among the passengers and there's a massive glass roof. Lincoln says their new battery technology enabled them to maximize the interior space.  Lincoln says the battery system delivers game changing energy density and efficiency by treating the entire car as a system.  Lincoln executives have not provided any performance details.

Tribute to the Past

Incredibly, this highly advanced vehicle incorporates aspects of Lincoln's first luxury car, the 1922 Model L with retro references in the styling and details, including an original greyhound hood ornament.  The L100 is not set to go into production as of this time but the technologies in it are designed for Lincoln's new vehicles for its 2nd century in business as an automaker. The L100 provides a provocative glimpse into the brand's ambitious automotive future that connects back to its 100-year past.  For more news stories like this, Future Modes of Travel 2020's 2030's
