This Self-Driving Concept Car Has a Fold-Up Steering Wheel & Personal Drone

The Rinspeed Σtos is a self-driving concept car that has its own personal flying drone to carry out chores like picking up deliveries or sending gifts.

Not only can the drone carry out such activities, it also has an integrated camera that livestreams its flight journey to the passengers.

The self-driving concept car doesn't stop with a connected flying drone, but its interior is equally advanced, with a fold-up steering wheel that slides into the dashboard when it isn't being used. The car also has Cloud-integrated technology, gesture-based controls and even augmented navigation.
