Believing in the philosophy that “the driver connects with the vehicle in the same way a rider connects with his horse”, Arturo Peralta believes to have manufactured a vehicle that recognises you, is able to feel, to trust: it is almost a part of you. The Bentley SenseS is a design study of a futuristic vehicle that explores the possibilities of genetic engineering, biotechnology and artificial intelligence in order to create a deep connection between the car and its owner. The car uses artificial intelligence to respond to the driver’s presence, such as pulsing a light to the user’s heartbeat, and to operate the vehicle’s in-wheel electric motors. The driver uses reins rather than a conventional steering wheel for directional inputs. Made using vast expanses of glass, the Senses employs a new design language for Bentley.
The exterior shape is made of a solid hologram technology that creates a solid surface between the feature lines of the vehicle when it is in standby mode waiting to set off. Once inside, it offers the passengers an interface to all senses providing a unique experience.
Channels flow around and through the interior carrying and creating the energy that powers the vehicle. So, Bentley SenseS, is one car sure to give you a feeling that it understands you.
