Audi calls the Grandsphere a ‘private jet for the road’, and the car combines a luxurious interior with level 4 automated driving, where the vehicle can handle the majority of driving situations independently, though a human driver can still take control. The lounge-like cabin has a natural-coloured, reduced-design interior. The Grandsphere’s cabin gets a digital detox and the usual screens and dials are absent upon entry into the cabin. When the vehicle comes to life at the touch of a fingertip, the displays take the form of projections on the wooden surfaces under the windshield. The car’s functions can also be controlled touch-free by eye tracking and gesture control.
