4. Future Driving

Drivers would be able to drive a car from a distant location via a remote control. The experience of driving will be provided by the VR technology implemented in this feature that is able to transfer data up to 20GB per second. 

5. Autonomous Electric Vehicle

This fully autonomous vehicle is produced by French company Navya that has worked together with Telkomsel and Chinese enterprise ST Engineering. The vehicle is able to accommodate 12 passengers with 8 seats. It is also equipped with a 360-degree camera to monitor the surrounding situation.
