BMW shows first of four concept cars detailing the future of driving

BMW is looking toward the next 100 years as it celebrates is centennial anniversary. The German automaker will be unveiling four concept cars that will set the tone for product and design development in the coming century. 

The Vision Vehicle is the first concept and it shows off things like a windshield with an interactive digital display, an interior dashboard with tons of triangles that change shape based on communication with the driver's movements, and organic LEDs that change shape. It's basically a shape-shifting, incredibly advanced vehicle.

On the more realistic, possibly production-ready side, there are elements like Boost and Ease mode that allow the driver to switch from self-driving to autonomous driving mode.

BMW will be revealing the other concepts in the coming months and it'll join Vision Vehicles by MINI and Rolls-Royce during the European leg of a global tour happening from June 16 to June 26. During the final stop in Los Angeles from October 6 to 11, the final Motorrad Vision Vehicle will be unveiled.
