Volvo Concept 26
Volvo's take on the future of driving, through an innovative car interior
Commuting is a major timesuck for many People. Volvo’s Concept 26 (C26) is a car interior with a seat design that allows drivers to switch between three ergonomic modes: DRIVE gives them complete control; CREATE puts more space between the retractable steering wheel and the seat, which glides back, while a monitor reveals itself on the dash; and RELAX provides a more reclined position that still gives a clear view of the road. The company’s IntelliSafe Auto Pilot interface makes communication between human and car clear and easily navigable.
