Smart Vision EQ ForTwo concept images

The Smart Vision EQ ForTwo is an electric concept car that showcases the brand's autonomous future

Rather than having owners, the Vision EQ ForTwo will be called upon via smartphone app

Using 'swarm' technology, it can predict busy times and head to areas of high demand

When not in use, the Smart Vision EQ ForTwo can drive itself to a charging station

Its doors can display the news, weather and other broadcasts when the car is parked

As a design study, the Vision EQ features high-tech systems, some of which may feature in the future production vehicles

When two strangers are on board, the Vision EQ will suggest shared cultural interests to them via its large internal screen

With no steering wheel or pedals, the Vision EQ is a fully 'Level 5' autonomous vehicle

The Vision EQ can feed energy back into the power grid when it's not in use

The concept car's single bench seat is clad in synthetic white leather, and features a retractable arm rest

With one passenger on board, another user can request a ride

The EQ Vision can work out if two strangers' journeys work logistically 

The first occupant can reject the second if they don't fancy sharing their ride, though

That large black front end can display messages to pedestrians and other road users
