[OT] Renault's new concept car - with mini drone

[Your Name]

I wonder how long before Nissan adds a drone extra to their range? (Of
course, it's nothing new - the TV series Viper had one years ago.)

Renault's new concept car comes with its own drone
--------------------------------------------------
This compact car opens up to unleash a mini quadcopter
on the world.

I've heard of optional extras, but this is ridiculous
Renault doesn't think so ­ its Kwid concept car comes
complete with a mini quadcopter tucked away in the roof
that can fly alongside you.

And why on Earth would I want that?
According to Renault, your drone companion can be used
to look for obstacles and traffic on the road ahead,
relaying live video to a tablet mounted in the
dashboard. You can also use it to take pictures, for
the ultimate selfie.

Mm-hmm. And how am I supposed to drive and fly at the
same time?
The drone can be set to follow the Kwid automatically
­ or your passenger can take control of it from the
dashboard tablet.

Doesn't sound like the car for me
That's because it isn't for you ­ Renault's designed
the Kwid for young customers in India. It's tiny, at
just 3.6m long, and packs in a 1.2l turbocharged engine
(though there are plans for an electric version, too).
And the interior isŠ unique. It's modelled on a bird's
nest. Of course, you can expect all that to change when
the car eventually hits the market ­ it's one of those
wild and wacky concept designs, at the moment.

It'll never get off the ground
Oh, stop droning on.

You use it to look for those random vacant spaces on the works car park
that are closest to the entrance! While you are looking at the screen
you crash into the other person that is also racing for that space.

It will add a whole new dimension to the Russian maniac car crash
videos. They can crash their drones into each other and the wreckage
will fall on other peoples cars.
