Dubai-based W Motors and ICONIQ Motors teamed up to unveil the Muse, a fully-electric self-driving car, at the Shanghai auto show. Development partners included Akka Technologies, Magna Steyr, and Microsoft. A fleet of Muses cars is being manufactured for use during the Dubai Expo 2020, with commercialization of production vehicles set for 2023.
The interior of the Muse features an advanced infotainment system and smart onboard services, innovative wide-screen user interfaces, and advanced cloud-computing connectivity. Two large screens and four personal tablets enable individual connectivity through what the makers call “CEO.UX”, which stands for Comfort, Entertainment, and Office User eXperience—a designation probably targeting Chief Executive Officers. The car has three-meter-wide gullwing doors, along with two front seats that can revolve and a small movable console, so the car can be reconfigured into a mobile meeting room.
