Rinspeed is planning to roll out a shape-shifting car, called iChange, which claims to be able to change its shape. The car’s body is able to adapt to the number of passengers on board, some more the iChange is controllable by an iPhone, which sounds really amazing
The iPhone is able to control everything in the car from the shape-shifting seats to the ignition. According to Rinspeed, the car has no doors, passengers to board from its electrically powered roof which tilts forward to allow passengers to enter the car.
An initial walk-around reveals that the concept car has no doors. The entire electrically powered roof section tilts forward to allow passengers to board. Also gone are such mundane things as a key. Its role is filled by an Apple iPhone, which also controls the most important vehicle functions. The energy for the electric motor comes from lithium-ion batteries that are available in two different stack configurations for short- and long-distance driving.
