The doors slide open. There's no obvious front or back. GM and Honda threw tradition out the window by unveiling the Origin, a new electric self-driving vehicle with no steering wheel, brake or accelerator pedals, windshield wipers or rear view mirror.
The six-seat electric vehicle has no steering wheel, brake or accelerator pedals, windshield wipers or rear view mirror. Its doors slide rather than swing open. There's no obvious front or back, like a typical car.Customers won't be able to buy an Origin, either. But they will be able to ride in one through a ridesharing app from Cruise, the self-driving subsidiary of GM, which Honda has also invested in.
"What's right for you is now the same thing as what's right for the world."GM will manufacture the Origin and Honda will perform the design engineering, such as customer touch points and styling. Cruise is developing the self-driving software, sensors and overall product, which it said it has been working on for three years now. The companies didn't say when they expect to begin production of the vehicle or when it will appear on roads.
