Cadillac InnerSpace Concept

Cadillac has expanded its vision of future personal autonomous mobility with the InnerSpace concept - a dramatic, electric and autonomous luxury vehicle for two passengers.

Using state-of-the-art technologies designed to enhance the passenger experience along with increased personal time enabled by fully autonomous mobility, InnerSpace is one of the vehicles designed not only to transport passengers in a luxurious environment but also to improve their well-being. The concept presents future possibilities with a range of personal autonomous options and advanced connected vehicle functions.

Through software-defined features and advanced vehicle connectivity, the concept can offer every passenger a truly personalized experience provided by GM's Ultifi software platform.

Early in Cadillac history, compact and personal Runabout models have enabled customers to explore new and wider horizons. The new InnerSpace Concept re-imagines that vision, with a completely autonomous experience that allows two passengers to focus on their journey rather than the ride.Fully autonomous capability means they could explore the world around them as well as inside the vehicle, with more personal and personalized experiences that add new dimensions to Cadillac’s distinctive luxury experience. AI biometric input and interfaces, available via a large, impressive and panoramic SMD LED display, allow passengers to choose between augmented reality, entertainment and health recovery themes for their ride. Thanks to Ultifi, Cadillac engineers and authorized third parties will be able to innovate additional themes and features that can be added wirelessly.

Battery modules have been spread across the concept vehicle, allowing designers to optimize the cabin for spaciousness and tranquility. This freedom of design also enabled a low-profile floor, providing an extremely low seating position similar to a sports car.

On the outside, the dramatically designed InnerSpace has panoramic glass on the roof and part of the sides of the body for an almost unobstructed view. The roof opens with a door for more comfortable entry and exit, and the seats also turn outwards when the door is opened, improving the effect.

And because autonomous driving takes away some of the driver's connection to the road, Goodyear SightLine, Goodyear tire technology, transmits important information about pressure, temperature, load and other performance factors.
