AVATR introduces vision xpectra concept car with prismatic glass cabin and living 'vortex'

"AVATR unveils the Vision Xpectra at IAA Mobility 2025, a concept car with a prismatic glass cabin and a living AI-powered vortex that learns the driver's needs and behaviors. Driven by 'emotional intelligence', the series of sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence software monitor the driver, passengers, and the vehicle's environment. As an example, these motion sensors detect the driver when they approach the car and light up before they even reach it. It creates a wake-up sequence where the car seems to come alive."

"Outside, the team applies what they describe as diamond-cut precision, which creates sharp, geometric surfaces reminiscent of cut gemstones. The prismatic glass cabin uses advanced glazing technology that allows light to refract and the outsiders to see the inside. In the cabin of the AVATR Vision Xpectra car sits a combination of nubuck leather, which is a type of sanded leather with a soft texture, three-dimensional knitted fabrics, and inflatable components that can change shape based on user preferences or driving conditions."

"Still inside the vehicle, the central control system, called the Vortex, functions as the middle system between the driver and the car. This AI learns from user behavior patterns over time, similar to how streaming services learn your preferences and suggest content. The system processes voice commands with a Voice Personal Assistant (VPA) that analyzes creates personalized responses using visual particles, lighting effects, and customized sound environments."

AVATR Vision Xpectra pairs a prismatic glass cabin with an AI-powered Vortex that learns driver and passenger behaviors to personalize lighting, sound, and interactions. Motion sensors detect approaching occupants and trigger a wake-up sequence that illuminates the vehicle. The exterior uses diamond-cut precision to form sharp, gemstone-like surfaces while advanced glazing refracts light and reveals the interior. Interior materials include nubuck leather, three-dimensional knitted fabrics, and inflatable components that adapt shape to user preferences or driving conditions. The Vortex processes voice commands via a Voice Personal Assistant, producing visual particles, lighting effects, and customized sound environments, and mechanical lamellas expand the cabin when doors open.
