The company Rinspeed is a master of transforming automotive ideas into unique vehicles. Their new creation - Rinspeed Etos Hybrid is based on the BMW i8 and the idea of self-driving cars.

Etos is a technological marvel. It has a retractable steering wheel that fades into the dashboard when it isn't required for driving. There are also two 21.5 inch ultra HD curved screens.

It also features the Harman Connected Car which acts as an infotainment center that can anticipate and provide vital info without distractions. It can be controlled through gestures, buttons, touch, and voice input.

There are 8 exterior HD cameras that provide a 180 degrees view that can track and detect people and animals.

The weirdest feature is probably the drone that has its own landing pad in the rear. The drone can perform aerial surveys of other cars on the road.

Finally, even if is based on the i8, Rinspeed Etos doesn't share its design and actually looks more futuristic than the BMW.
