GabyEverything in this car was cutting-edge: the concept, design, and technical specifications. The vehicle, designed in the trendy “aerospace” style of the time, was built on the platform of the GM Firebird IV and was intended for travel on automated roads, where driving was minimized.
Entering an automated highway (many of which were expected to appear worldwide soon, as believed in 1969), the driver could insert a programmed punch card into a special slot in the computer and… relax. The car would smoothly take you to your destination, with the route displayed on the radar screen on the dashboard.
In addition, the car was equipped with a rearview camera, the images from which were displayed on a television screen, so the vehicle did not have interior or side mirrors.
There were also other super-modern features in the interior of the “car of the future”: for example, the trunk was equipped with a mechanism for raising and lowering the floor to make it easier to access luggage.
The seats had a rotating function and could recline. Additionally, the cabin featured a pull-out refrigerator, a television, and a table.
