"TikTok user @mellowmelodies08 showed off an IM Motors L7 in a video posted last week. The video shows the TikToker navigating through traffic holding the L7's YAT Semi-rim steering and wheel. The L7's dual displays show traffic, the weather, and blind spots. A third display on the console manages the AI-controlled parking and side parking, escape in case of emergencies, and traceback."
"In the comments, viewers reacted to the L7 and expressed shock at how much the displays dominate the driving experience. "Driving iPads," wrote one person. A second person agreed, "That is too much. It's so distracting." Another person used this as an opportunity to bemoan the evolution of technology. "We used to drive cars; now we drive phones on tires," they wrote. "We used to make calls with phones; now we make calls with cameras.""
A TikTok user showcased an IM Motors L7 driving through traffic while using the vehicle's YAT Semi-rim steering and wheel. The vehicle features dual displays that present traffic, weather, and blind-spot information, plus a third console display that controls AI parking, side parking, emergency escape functions, and a traceback feature that can reverse up to 50 meters along a previous driving path. Viewer reactions criticized the heavy reliance on screens and described the setup as distracting. IM is a division of SAIC Motors with a $1.1 billion investment and plans to explore overseas markets, including Europe. U.S. law restricts most recent foreign-made vehicles from import without meeting safety compliance, generally allowing imports only for vehicles 25 years old or older.
