Audi's Long Distance Lounge Concept Is a Vision Into the Future

Audi is going the distance with driverless cars. The company is on the verge of introducing a new flagship with Level 3 autonomy, but it’s already looking ahead at Level 5 cars. Audi’s commitment to the future and cutting-edge technology is no more apparent than with its newest concept, the Long Distance Lounge (LDL).  

Roughly the same size as the A8 model's wheelbase, the all-electric LDL has a considerably more spacious cabin than any other vehicle we’ve seen. That’s in part because there is no steering wheel, combustion engine, or massive crumple zones—there’s simply no need for them—which frees up more than enough space.

After opening a single futuristic door, the LDL opens up to a beautifully designed cabin, full of plush seating and lovely wooden floors. If you’re worried about how the floors will stay in top shape, don’t be. Audi has patented a vibration generator that shakes up dirt and dust and moves it to the side of the interior before vacuums suck it up.  

When it comes to seating, the interior is designed to provide maximum flexibility, offering countless ways to adjust the seats and configurations. After you’ve found the perfect position, strong magnets ensure your seat stays firmly in place.

Pair all of that with the augmented reality technology that’ll be integrated with smartphones, and you have more technology than you’d ever imagine seeing in a car. For example, a number of sensors and cameras are able to track the sightline of a passenger so that the car can display the requested information on the correct screen.

Audi’s Long Distance Lounge is a glimpse into the future in which the possibilities really do seem endless. Furthermore, the Long Distance Lounge concept reiterates the fact that Audi is consistently a pioneer of future technologies and pushing the envelope on what's possible.
