Peugeot’s at VivaTech 2024 showing off their vision for the future of electric cars, and it’s electrifying (pun intended). But it’s not just about flashy new rides – they’re revamping the whole driving experience with a mind-blowing steering system called the Hypersquare.
The INCEPTION Concept: A Sustainable Ride with Serious Style
Peugeot’s INCEPTION Concept isn’t your average concept car. It’s a glimpse into a future where electric cars are not only good for the planet, but also drop-dead gorgeous. Think sleek, feline design that looks like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie, a luxurious interior loaded with tech, and a driving experience unlike anything you’ve ever felt. This concept car also highlights Peugeot’s commitment to being eco-friendly. They’re using recycled materials throughout the INCEPTION, from seat fabric made with old prototypes to fancy 3D printed floor mats. It’s all about reducing their carbon footprint while keeping things stylish.
The PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® Gets a Major Upgrade
Remember the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®? That awesome driver-focused setup found in millions of Peugeots? Well, it’s getting a complete makeover! Out goes the traditional steering wheel and stalks, replaced by the futuristic Hypersquare steering control system. Inspired by video games and the digital world, the Hypersquare promises to redefine the way you drive.
The Hypersquare: Driving Like Never Before
Imagine controlling your car with a simple click or touch of your fingertips, all without taking your hands off the wheel. That’s the magic of the Hypersquare. It’s designed to be more natural and intuitive, making driving a breeze. Plus, it uses fancy steer-by-wire technology for a more responsive feel.
But the Hypersquare isn’t alone. It’s paired with a cool, flexible display called the HALO Cluster. This circular screen shows you all the driving and entertainment info you need, even before you hop in the car.
The Hypersquare’s Got It All:
- A comfy grip that feels natural in your hands.
- Fingertip control for easy navigation.
- Thumb controls for activating features like the A/C or radio.
- A familiar feel, kind of like using your smartphone.
The Hypersquare even has a tablet-like screen in the center for displaying control information, with all the functions you need on the sides for quick access. It’s a mix of 3D printed comfort and a high-tech digital screen, making it both functional and futuristic. Get ready to see the PEUGEOT Hypersquare and the next-gen i-Cockpit® hit the streets soon! Peugeot plans to roll them out in their cars as early as 2026. Buckle up, because the future of driving is about to get a whole lot more exciting.
Beyond the INCEPTION: Exploring the Future of Mobility
Peugeot’s not just showing off a cool concept car at VivaTech. They’re also teaming up with companies like Mobilisights and Vay to explore the future of connected services and remote driving. Mobilisights helps personalize your driving experience by using data from connected Peugeots. Imagine apps that make charging your electric car easier or track your energy use – that’s the kind of stuff Mobilisights is working on. Ever heard of “remote driving”? That’s where you control a car from somewhere else using fancy technology. Peugeot’s partnered with Vay to explore this concept. At VivaTech, they’ve got a special “telestation” where Vay’s expert drivers can remotely control a car, getting a full view of the surroundings for a safe and immersive experience.
These partnerships show that Peugeot’s all-in on creating a sustainable and innovative future for driving. From the luxurious INCEPTION Concept to connected services and remote driving, they’re pushing the boundaries and reimagining what it means to be behind the wheel.
