Pateo Corps unveils concept car with a difference

Pateo Corps, a Chinese Internet company, displayed its super-smart car concept Project N in Shanghai. The car opens up like the cockpit in a jet fighter.

Without a steering wheel, the operating system works from a curved touch screen as wide as the cabin. During a demonstration, the Project N recognized the voice of Ying Yilun, CEO of Pateo Corps, and checked his heart rate. It also recognized the driving route.

At the same auto show, Aston Martin Lagonda (China) Automobile Distribution Co Ltd and Leshi Internet Information and Technology Corp said they will work together on connectivity technologies that could help drivers.

BAIC Motor Corp and Leshi jointly displayed a concept in a driver cabin mock-up at the auto show. BAIC Motor and Le Holdings Co, Leshi's parent, entered into a strategic agreement in March to build smart cars.
