No, this isn’t a prop for a Blade Runner remake – it’s actually the Chevrolet FNR, a show car that presages a future for the automobile that is autonomous and electrically-powered. We’d all be driving spaceships-on-wheels in the years to come, apparently…
Developed by GM-SAIC’s Pan Asia Technical Automotive Centre (PATAC), the FNR (Find New Roads) is a mad sci-fi riot of swoops, curves, lights and glassy surfaces. The crystal headlights and tail lights are powered by lasers, and situated at all four corners are magnetic hubless wheels housing the electric motors; there’s wireless auto-charging in there too.
Open the “dragonfly” dual swing doors (front doors flip forward, rear doors arc back) and you’ll find four massive seats – the front ones can swivel 180 degrees to face the rear when the car is in self-driving mode, creating what Chevy describes as a “more intimate setting.” The driver can then switch back to manual mode using gesture control.
Autonomous driving is enabled by sensors and roof-mounted radar that map the environment around the car. Iris recognition ensures that only authorised drivers are allowed to start the car, while Chevy Intelligent Assistant is also fitted; the car can act as a “personal assistant” to map out the ideal route to the driver’s preferred destination.

Wow….can use for next movie Transformer.
I heard Proton and Michael Bay is struggling each other for this concept car. While Michael bay is transforming this car into an Autobot/Decepticon, and the other side proton is try hard hard to rebadge it just like old time they did for Inspira. LOL
On a side note, Blade Runner is an AWESOME movie. 11/10 must watch for all Sci-Fi fans !
Sardine fish like dolphin underwater monster?
Next can this car dive in open sea?
Rejoice, the future doesn’t have potholes!
The design is overdone, looks very odd now…
absolute love! it’s been a long while since a concept car is this “out of this world” and crazy!
need to weld a solid 10mm steel plate underneath the car if the owner wanna drive it on msia roads. Also, a hoist or winch is also needed if he were to park the car in a multi-storey carpark.
How many airbag? Got VSC or not? How many ANCAP?
wooow, this car is like a rendered model…… unbelibelow futuristic!!
