e That’s how the future Rolls

Rolls Royce has unveiled its most

outrageous car ever, the Vision Next

100 concept (confusingly codenamed

103EX). The all-electric driverless

vehicle’s body will be custom-built to

the buyer’s specifications. The concept

rides on 28-inch rims constructed from

65 individual pieces of aluminium.

Passengers get a personal computer

with artificial intelligence as a chauffeur

and sit on a silk-clad sofa with thick-pile

woollen carpet underfoot. Classy.
