The BMW Vision iNext is a concept vehicle for now. The front end of the Vision iNext features a new version of BMW's trademark "kidney" grill, which features two rounded rectangles. A major reason for this center section is to cover the front-mounted cameras and sensors that enable the car's self-driving capabilities. This is similar to the way, in BMW cars now, drivers can write letters with their fingers on top of a large plastic control knob. One prevailing theme in the design of the Vision iNext is that technology should be, as much as possible, invisible until needed.
