Renault showcases the 'Next Two' Autonomous car

Renault has unveiled its Next Two car that offers self-driving, smart connectivity and the French company claims that it can even valet park itself while you're walking away (mind blown!). Currently a prototype, this car stands testimony to what Renault wants to achieve by 2020.

The idea behind it is that drivers can get in and enjoy 4G connectivity to get things done while on the go. Since it is autonomous, the Next Two can drive through traffic at upto 30km/h. The Next Two uses sensors and cameras to make minute calculations as it takes you through the roads.

This is how Renault describes the features of the Next Two, "Juliette calls her in 'hands free' mode and sees her friend's face appear on the screen. During the conversation, the friend shares a photo with her and, with a simple move of her hand, Juliette transfers the picture to the tablet computer belonging to her daughter, sitting alongside her in the car. She hangs up and decides to take advantage of the delegated driving free time to relax and launches the 'Health & Wellbeing' app. The seat immediately begins its massage function and the lighting, sound and scent environments within the cabin tune in to this moment of relaxation."

But what we really like about this car is the valet function. The fact that drivers will be able to use a smartphone to tell the car to pick them up outside their office or home, really amuses us. Then on arrival at the destination they can go in directly and let the car take itself off to find a suitable parking spot. Now, who wouldn't want that? In short, you are rest assured that you don't need to find a place to park, rather the Next Two becomes your chauffer in disguise of a car.

Still at the prototype level, Renault sees great potential in bringing these futuristic cars to the market by 2020.
