In todays post, I'm going to talk about the latest International car show held in Detroit, North America where various Mega-Car-Manufacturers, previewed there latest range of new concept cars-vision of the future of auto industry, although there were fewer models than expected-maybe because such vehicles are both time consuming and expensive to develop. Digital dashboard, green-fuel and autonomous features were theme for the show. Some of the amazing new concept cars are as follows :-

Although, the car show is about cars but there was also an autonomous concept truck, showed off by Einride-swedish transportation startup.
