Autonomous, artistic cars shine at Shanghai auto show

Autonomous and artistic vehicles are stealing the spotlight at the Shanghai Auto Show, offering a fresh take on mobile living led by technology and aesthetics.

A domestic driverless mini bus equipped with 5G technology has been launched at the auto show. This type of bus is expected to be put into use during the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games.

Dubbed a mobile reception room, the conceptual car Airo uses not only autonomous technologies but also a HEPA air filtration system, giving modern people a higher-quality and more efficient experience.

Automobile designers and manufacturers are going beyond mere improvements in functionality by aiming to make cars more beautiful and artistic.

The BMW GT2 sports car designed by US artist Jeff Koons is a refreshing sight in a world accustomed to vehicles in only one color.
