Sell your car for free with Carwow: Mat’s flown over to Croatia to check out a very special car! He’s headed over to Rimac’s newly built campus, but he’s not checking out an all-new, all-electric hypercar - he will get up close and personal with Rimac’s new robotaxi concept! That’s right, the creators of the 1, 914hp Rimac Nevera are creating an autonomous taxi! So let’s take a closer look at the car. It’s called Verne, and Rimac are hoping it will start rolling out by as early as 2026! In terms of the size of the car, it looks like it could easily blend in within a city without standing out as an autonomous car. On the outside, it’s covered in sensors to help it manoeuvre around the streets, and in this early stage of development, the plan is for it to run only within cities rather than making longer journeys out of town. On the inside, there are only two seats, and on the dash, there’s a huge screen that displays all the information you’ll need. It shows details of your journey, and comes with a choice of music, apps, and even the ability to play on an Xbox! The seats are highly customisable, with the option to recline should you so wish. The taxi can be hailed via an app, and before it arrives you’ll even have the option to set the interior temperature and light settings! The Verne is powered by a 60kWh battery which should offer enough range to run for a whole day in a city. It has a motor that drives the front wheels, can deliver around 200hp, and it weighs in at 2, 100kg. So what are your thoughts on the Verne And more importantly, could it be a serious contender to Tesla’s upcoming autonomous taxi! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

It's going to be fun to see how much money it costs the company simply because the doors open too slow. Imagine the rider has been waiting in extreme weather conditions. The app isn't working because their phone screen is wet. It's cold and dark and they can not find the little button on this particular model of car. The car thinks no one is there and drives off. or the rider finds the button in time and realizes they now have to wait for the door to slooooowly open. They get more impatient and force the door open. now it's off its track and will not close properly. then the person who does NOT want to wear their sewtbelt realizes they need to wait for another car because the door is stuck open and the interior of this vehicle is now soaked.
The future seems bright!

The part of self-driving AI that i still don't see a solution for is the fact that other human drivers and pedestrians can (and will) bully these things in congested situations. In every case, they will be programmed to back off when there's a risk of a collision, and humans will quickly take note of this. Coupled with a natural resentment toward the occupants who aren't needing to drive themselves, it will become the norm that these machines will just not be given any courtesy to change lanes, merge, or navigate crosswalks on crowded city streets. The reputation they develop will be that they are nuisances and obstructions to efficient traffic flow.

So the future of driving is to be driven I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
Will people who want to drive even be allowed to drive, as in, old fully manual mechanical cars Or will cars without software driver aids be banned in a next regulation step
Honestly I don't need an ipad or a computer monitor in a car. Nor do I need backup & front camera. I also don't need the speedo to be on a screen, nor do I need the climate control to be on a screen via a software menu. It's fine if a car is electric, but why can't we get electric cars without any screens and instead old style analog control physical buttons, and physical mechanical displays

Fantastic. Well done Matte and team. Beautiful design inside and out and very strong concept and business proposal. I hope you succeed 1000%. I’m still a petrolhead, I don’t think electric only is the way but this is one perfect use case for electric cars. The other is the Rimac - high performance cars. But for the average driver I think the grid and the planet cannot handle everyone having an electric car.
Hopefully people in cities won’t buy cars but just use taxis like this. Ok it won’t work in places like Africa with vast distances and very, very, very weak electric grid but Europe, Asia and Americas for sure.

I like the idea!
But. ,there are a few things missing thou:
- I can't see a place to put trash in! ;
- Can't see a place to put bigger bottle, or a laptop, anything usual, except for a backpack.
- Can't eat in this car and keep it clean at the same time.
- I don't see a manual overwrite for the steering
Basically this is short city travel only;

reply

Door opens way too slow and I don't like the way it looks. Looks like an i3 with way too sharp front window. Is Remac sure that is the design they want to use I am not really a fan of the idea of killing off easy jobs and allowing billionaires to just buy a bunch of cars and send them off making money. Nobody should support autonomous taxis or AI that is going way too far. Watch some Black Mirror episodes.
reply

So the concept is to basically put more cars into city, creating more pressure on transport infrastructure, at least because they only move 2 people at a time, and also you need to use additional space inside the city to build infrastructure for servicing this cars.
Cool project but harmful for the modern cities which are trying to be centered around people and not cars.

reply

They seem so positive in their message for making so many hard working people redundant. There go 100k taxi driving jobs in the UK alone. This will also delete a sizable chunk of income tax revenue to pay for public services. Unless maybe you tax autonomous taxi companies in a different way to plug the gap. Governments need to come up with these solutions quickly.
reply

The biggest obstacles this will have is, when shady characters stand around the car, bringing it to a stop and the car will no longer move. It will be easy for these characters to rob people since there is no driver who can overrun these characters to flee the scene. Once that happens, it will be a dead project as nobody would want to use these robo taxis ever again.
reply

Nice concept you got there, now try to build one in volume, software is also non-existing mobile eye has 0 self driving cars people can actually use in the real world even their ADAS system compare to what Tesla has is long ways away, love Rimac but I hope they bet on the right horse, they should have made a deal with Tesla for FSD, good luck!
reply

car wow - FUN FACT Tesla used Mobileye in the MODEL S.
Tesla DELETED Mobileye because it was TOO EXPENSIVE, used too much ENERGY, and it has LESS COMPUTE than Tesla.
in 2024 Tesla can Drive HANDS FREE on City Streets, door to door ZERO interventions.
Tesla can also Drive HANDS FREE off road, anywhere you Drop a pin.

reply

Love the detail of the concept, just the screen seems an oversight. Ergonomically I think it should have been placed higher up and possible tilt out of the way if you prefer to look outside. It would also require a higher front of the car, making it more of a teardrop (instead of the current reverse teardrop.
reply

The winner will be, who can do it 0. 1 cost of taxi, not like this fool, who think he will be competing with Tesla with this concept poop. Winner will be, who can scale it to millions on streets of all over the world, not mapped few hundreds per city. Waymo already doin that for 2 years and not making any money on it.
reply

try to beat Tesla. But will fail, why IF (IF) all tesla cars today will have that capability with a software update, Tesla will easily switch on millions of cars (if the owners want it. How many will rimac need to build and as fast to even serve one city, let along countrywide. and that prototype only has 2 seats!
reply

Today, at the presentation, his robotaxi, which has Israeli software and the car is Korean, broke down. His father was sentenced to prison yesterday for stealing 40 million euros in Croatia. He sold several Neveras and a few years ago he said that they were all sold in advance. Fraudsters from Bosnia .
reply

I totally agree with him, and I don't like people who claim they like commuting in a car because they are a petrolhead. They just wanna get away from the missus before the nagging starts again. A true petrolhead saves the drive for leisure. For an early Sunday morning.
reply

I don't like the future (the far far future, 50 years) all cars will be something like this one and they wont even let us drive by law (for our ''safety'' less road kills and accidents, and of course we want to be safety) but the main goal is more control over our lives.
reply

Money WASTE, huge design blunder just like Tesla today. So easy to see that:
People won't buy an expensive tiny car! Use brains!
So your target is to sell less & less cars just as a taxi
I'd definitely NOT invest in such a company, I'm not an iDioot

reply

Cool concept but needs to be much cheaper and practical. Screen and first class space is nice for long distance. Short distance is about getting from a to b quick and cheap. Also areodynamics dont matter that much in city so why not make it 4 person up to 6.
reply

Nope don't like it. A car is to be driven. Especially with some of the other careless drivers on the roads. Don't think I'd trust it to break or to break to hard and someone not paying attention in a proper car runs up the back of you.
