GAC Barchetta EV concept
As the name suggests, the concept is in the form of a small, lightweight roadster like so many barchettas of the past, but blends this with a futuristic look first seen on GAC's Time concept from 2021.
To get the height of the vehicle so low, the designers imagined the battery form like the one in a mobile phone. And to keep weight low, they relied on lightweight materials including aluminum for the body, recycled plastic for the interior, and by-wire connections instead of mechanical ones.
It was fully designed using digital tools and was completed within two months.

Alors comme ça Macron veut réparer la cathédrale Notre Dame en 5 ans ET faire un concours international pour une nouvelle flêche ? Je comprends pourquoi Stéphane Bern est furieux. Ca risque d'être vite fait mal fait avec des simplification à cause du planning et du budget, et je parle même pas du style qui pourrait la défigurer. Je te vois la fresque de Chagall à l'opéra Garnier. Et tans pis les emplois de rénovation historique français. Il n'y a qu'eux qui puissent juger du temps qu'il faudra.
Par rapport au plan de rénovation de Notre Dame le château de windsor avait mis 10 ans à sécher non ? 5 ans c'est raide, et après que fait on ? J'espère vraiment qu'ils vont écouter les experts au lieu de faire du zèle de technocrate. Et changer l'aspect d'un bâtiment réçent ca va, mais une cathédrale de près de 900 ans aussi chargée d'histoire et d'émotions c'est inimaginable. J'espère ne pas déranger et me répeter, les messages sont cours. En tout cas, c'est merveilleux qu'elle ait survécu :)
Honnêtement, je suis fatigué par ces vautours de politiques et milliardaires qui sautent sur le cadavre fumant de la cathédrale. Outre le fait qu’on a même pas encore fait le diagnostic (ce qui en soi peut prendre des mois et en plus les résultats des diagnostics peuvent potentiellement nous dire que finalement la maçonnerie ne tiendra pas et qu’elle est trop fragile donc qu’il vaut mieux l’abattre - ça serait pas la première fois qu’on détruirait un monument historique comme ça je vous assure). Donc outre le fait qu’on a pas le diagnostic disais-je, 5 ans c’est au moins le temps qu’il va falloir pour réunir les informations/documentations/références/sources pour que les experts (conservateurs/architectes du patrimoines/spécialistes etc) se mettent d’accord sur la meilleure chose à faire pour le bâtiment. Laissez-moi vous faire deviner que personne ne va être d’accord sur rien, c’est toujours comme ça, et comme c’es une décision collégiale et bah ça prend du temps.Le concours d’architecte mais laissez-moi rire. C’est encore une fois une manière d’impliquer et de rameuter ses copains riches. Parce que évidemment, une architecture réalisée par Jean Nouvel ça claque un peu plus qu’une restauration menée par Patrick l’architecte des monuments historiques. Problème en général les bâtiments d’architecte n’en ont rien à foutre de la bonne conservation des oeuvres en leur sein quand ça concerne des musées, alors t’imagine leur confier la reconstruction de la flèche sur une cathédrale gothique. On a essayé dans les années 1830 avant Viollet-le-Duc, ça s’est pas très bien passé. Alors oui on a plus d’expérience et de connaissances sur le domaine maintenant mais franchement je leur ferais pas confiance pour autant.
Ensuite pourquoi en 5 ans Janine ? Dans 5 ans ya quoi ? Ya les JO. Et oh bizarrement il faudrait que ce soit prêt à ce moment là. Macron me débecte, en trois mots il a balayé toutes les procédures obligatoires et nécessaires quant à la restauration d’une oeuvre et le respect de la déontologie liée à la restauration (eh oui Manu figure-toi qu’on fait pas les choses n’importe quand, n’importe comment, ya des trucs bien et des trucs moins bien).
Bref en somme le fucking président de la République ignore complètement l’existence/l’avis des professionnels qui sont formés exactement pour la conservation des biens historiques de l’Etat et donc pour intervenir dans ce type de situation. Pour moi c’est juste la preuve flamboyante que le mec n’est au courant de rien dans le domaine culturel et c’est effrayant. Deuxième preuve, il nomme un putain de militaire à la tête du chantier... SÉRIEUSEMENT ?
Je suis aussi soulagée que Notre-Dame de Paris n’ait pas totalement disparue en cendre (parce que ça aurait pu arriver sans l’intervention des pompiers), mais je préfère ne pas me réjouir de trop tant qu’on aura pas eu un diagnostic complet des dégâts, et tant qu’on saura pas qu’est-ce qu’on va en faire par la suite parce que moi je trouve que ça sent pas bon pour les professionnels du domaine de la culture et du patrimoine.

Renault’s EZ-GO electric car is ridesharing for the masses
Renault has managed to outdo the craziness of the Mercedes F 015 concept with its own driverless concept electric car, the EZ-GO. Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, it's a Level 4 autonomous urban EV with a top speed of just 30MPH. Six passengers enter through the massive front door and can see everything (and be seen) thanks to huge swaths of glass on the sides and roof.
The EZ-GO might have low performance, but it's high-tech. All the self-driving sensors, including radar, LiDAR, ultrasound and cameras are stashed in an antenna on the rear spoiler. Even though there's no driver, Renault says it has Level 4, rather than Level 5 self-driving, largely because it's a concept car that will only ever operate on a closed circuit.
Still, its tech would allow it to fit into traffic, change lanes, overtake other vehicles and turn at intersections. It can also move into a safe position if the system detects an incident or fault on the car itself. Renault is working on technology that will allow humans to monitor the vehicle, and safety is further enhanced by the front entry door that keeps passengers away from the flow of traffic.
The self-driving EV has active suspension that can handle rough city roads and raise or lower the car to accommodate passengers, along with four-wheel steering for better city maneuverability. There are also built-in wireless charging units and WiFi.
To access the EZ-GO, you would use an Uber-like app or board from special urban stations. Renault wants to improve on such apps, however, by giving users more choices on how they ride. "If you're a woman and it's late, you could ask for girls-only service," Renault's manager of concept cars, Stéphane Janin, told Engadget. "Then it becomes a riding pool with no driver and only women in the vehicle so that they will feel safe."
While it might look like an arty design exercise, the EZ-GO makes sense when you understand what Renault was trying to do. The combination of a huge entry port at the front and the U-shaped seating arrangement allows passengers to walk in standing up, easily sit down and move around. At the same time, there's a ramp that gives easy access for wheelchairs or parents with strollers.
The half-circle seating arrangement and copious glass serves another purpose, too. "For the shared pool mode, you might not always feel comfortable when you are in a normal car and passengers you don't know are behind you," Janin explained. "That's why we decided to make this U-shape. People are more or less facing each other, so they can see everyone and say hello."
Another survey told Renault that passengers feel more comfortable in a transparent vehicle. Unlike with private cars, people want to be seen in transit vehicles so that other passengers can't try anything funny. "When you are in our car, on the bench seat and beside a big window, it's like you are on a park bench that's somehow moving," noted Janin.
The automaker thinks the EZ-GO could accommodate sightseeing, evening parties and other activities besides ride-pooling. The semi-circular seats create a convivial atmosphere with lots of room to move, and the panoramic glass lets you see what's going on. "Because it's a super-transparent cabin, you can see everything outside and take pictures," said Janin. "So you could say, I don't want to go from A to B, and the service could take you on a 20- or 40-minute tour instead."
Where Uber calls itself "everyone's private driver," Renault sees EZ-GO as an affordable, more sociable service. We've designed it according to the needs of the cities," said Janin. "The idea is to use autonomous and EV tech to allow mobility for all."
As such, an EZ-GO-like service would provide more freedom to folks who can't afford to own a car or can't drive, including the young and elderly. It would also improve cities by reducing traffic, pollution and parking demand.
Steve Dent/AOL
The automaker thinks that autonomous and electric cars could provide not just mobility, but energy storage. It recently unveiled a smart island at Santo Porto, Portugal, with Renault Zoe EVs, solar and wind power, and battery backup systems. The idea is that during off-peak times, folks could charge up their EVs, and when power demand is high, they could discharge some power to the grid. The EZ-GO could do something similar in cities while it's not in use.
The EZ-GO wouldn't be sold to the public but is aimed at cities and businesses for transit and private ride-sharing. For passengers, the aim is to make it cheaper than an Uber or cab, but more than a bus. Renault sees it as being useful for pool-type ride-sharing as a way to replace shuttles, and even for tourist use.
The EZ-GO is helping Renault prepare for the day when (and if) true robo-driver services start. That will inevitably reduce the demand for private cars, so all automakers are scrambling to develop their own ride-sharing tech. For now, though, Renault still makes most of its money from gas-burning vehicles. However, Renault said it will release its first EZ-GO-style robo-vehicle in 2022, and that's not terribly far away.

Renault unveils its vision for a car and home "in complete symbiosis"
Renault has revealed an autonomous, electric concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week, which it sees as an extension of the connected home.
Described by the car company as "an extra mobile, modular and multi-purpose room", Symbioz is a vision for a car "in complete symbiosis" with the modern home, which connects to it wirelessly like many of today's domestic appliances.
Externally, the car takes its cues from contemporary architecture. It features a steel frame, expansive windows and wooden joinery details.
Inside, the car is designed to echo the details and finishes of a living room, with materials including copper, marble, fabric and porcelain. Its four seats, described by Renault as "armchairs", can rotate to face each other, just like a swivelling armchair.
"The car becomes a new mobile, multi-purpose living space for the whole family and can be used – open or closed – more fully, even when parked," said Stéphane Janin, Renault's director of design.
"The car allows passengers to feel at home when travelling, thanks to the interior design. It is underpinned by the idea of maximising the available space for the passengers, without taking anything away from comfort and modularity."
Renault is presenting the Symbioz concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show, which opens to the public tomorrow at the Messe Frankfurt exhibition centre. As part of the presentation, the brand is showing the car alongside a vision of the future home.
Motor show visitors are able to walk around the car within its connected home environment and experience how the two may interact in the future.
"As designers for Groupe Renault, our job is to imagine what role cars will play in the future and integrate them into its ecosystem," said senior designer Tina Kentner.
"We therefore set out to build part of this ecosystem – a family home – and let our customers experience this home at an international motor show. That's a first."
The residence has a total area of approximately 120 square metres, and was designed for Renault by French studio Marchi Architectes.
A custom-engineered lifting and rotating platform is incorporated into the house, which raises the car from the ground floor to the rooftop, so that users can enjoy views of the surroundings. When the lift is raised up, it creates an additional living space on the ground floor.
As well as informing one another aesthetically, the car and the home also economically share energy. "Kilowatt-hours are distributed through a smart grid shared by the car and the home in an artificial intelligence environment capable of anticipating occupants' needs," explained Renault.
"If there are no plans for a long trip in the next 48 hours, a minimum charge level will be left in the car battery (i.e. enough energy for a short trip) in order to optimise power distribution at home. However, if a weekend away is planned, the system will fully charge the car battery on a Friday night, gradually turning down the home heating overnight."
The wireless connection between the car and the home is constant, so continues to function when the car is on the move. This allows users to access their music, social media, and personal cloud storage around the clock.
Also, if someone rings the house's doorbell, the dashboard displays their face, and the passenger can give them access remotely.
"No longer can we think of car design in isolation from the ecosystem surrounding us, or from the evolution of major changes like electric energy use, connected and autonomous drive technologies that influence our lives," stated Laurens van den Acker, senior vice president of Renault corporate design.
Renault is showing a demo version of Symbioz in Frankfurt, but expects the vision to become reality by 2023. The vehicle would be powered by an all-electric motor, which can be charged to 80 per cent capacity in just 20 minutes.
Users would also have the option of switching on an autonomous driving system, which causes the steering wheel and column to fold away into the dashboard, and the pedals to retract – further reinforcing the car's room-like aesthetic.
