National Electric Vehicle Sweden, or NEVS, isn’t just an automobile company, it’s a mobility company. And in planning for the future of mobility, NEVS unveiled the InMotion concept at CES Asia in Shanghai. The self-driving concept previews what a Level 5 autonomous vehicle could look like. It made its debut alongside the Saab-based all-electric NEVS 9-3 sedan and 9-3X wagon.

NEVS sees the electric InMotion serving as a form of public transportation and not as a vehicle to be purchased for personal use. To give users a personal experience, the concept is tied in to a mobile-phone application that is able to store each user’s personal settings for his or her InMotion ride. From the app, users can adjust the interior lighting, climate-control settings, and seat position. Along with basic seat adjustments, the seats can also be arranged in one of three ways: a Private setup, a Social arrangement, or a Meeting grouping. Driving duties are left completely to the InMotion, which is devoid of a steering wheel or pedals.

While the InMotion’s completely autonomous nature brings tears to our driving-loving eyes, the concept’s styling gives us hope that self-driving cars will at least offer some sense of exterior style. Unlike the Volkswagen Group’s Sedric autonomous concept, the InMotion is a surprisingly dynamic-looking vehicle with a cabin design that is more than just a simple box. It’s a small drop of lemonade to be found even though this high-tech concept makes the human driver essentially obsolete.
