This striking roadster is the quirkily titled BMW Vision ConnectedDrive concept car.
The emphasis is on high-tech here, with the car seen as 'a fully integrated part of the networked world in both its design and technological innovations.'
The interior has been divided into three layers - comfort, infotainment and safety - each with a corresponding light installation. Each layer is defined by a colour.
The first layer of red light wraps around the driver to represent the flow of safety-specific information and the driver's focus on the road ahead.
The second layer encompasses the safety layer and extends to the passenger cell, focusing on infotainment.
And a final layer is defined by green light and concentrates on the interaction of the vehicle with the world around it.
External sensors monitor the traffic and immediate vicinity, feeding information directly to the driver allowing him to take appropriate action.
