The Verne robotaxi is a game-changer with its Level 4 fully autonomous technology, meaning it operates without traditional controls like a steering wheel and pedals.

It utilises Mobileye Drive technology, incorporating the EyeQ system-on-a-chip and REM for real-time 3D mapping. Inside, passengers can enjoy a 43-inch display, 17 speakers, and a Dolby Atmos sound system.

Customizable settings for temperature, lighting, and even scent can be managed via a mobile app. Best of all, Verne promises to make this high-tech, comfortable ride accessible to everyone, not just the superrich.
