LAS VEGAS: A Chinese startup unveiled its vision for the automobile of the future Sunday, promising to deliver an “intuitive and intelligent” car to global markets starting next year from around $45,000. “This is a product which is tailor-made for the future, which is autonomous and shared,” said Daniel Kirchert, president and co-founder of the Nanjing-based startup. The Byton car will use facial recognition to unlock and adapt to the driver and offer a range of other ways to interact including voice control with Amazon Alexa, touch and gesture. It will include 5G connectivity to the internet cloud and improve its functions with artificial intelligence. Byton said the car will have a range of more than 500 kilometres (300 miles) before needing a recharge and will be able to “top up” its battery in 15 to 30 minutes.
