At CES 2021, GM unveiled an electric party bus concept that combines sophisticated technology with the ideologies of the experience economy. The vehicle—known as the Cadillac luxury PAV pod concept—is intended to elevate the anticipation of driving up to an event. Naturally, technology is used to assure optimal comfort and a luxurious experience.
The electric party bus is fully autonomous. The interior is equipped with biometric sensors that read the passengers' vital signs and adjust the climate for the ride. In addition, aromatherapy is a surprising component of this concept too. Through it, Cadillac hopes to make passengers as comfortable as possible. Consumers on the ride can also use hand gestures and voice control to take power over their experience.
