CES 2017: Rinspeed reveals wacky Oasis

First look at Rinspeed's futuristic Oasis on the move

Rinspeed has released a video of the Oasis concept it will show at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this January.

Already revealed back in October, this is our first opportunity to see the all-new Oasis concept on the move.

Created for sharing via social media, the pure-electric car has been made for the city.

The Oasis also features a jaw-dropping amount of technology for a small car including the ability to drive itself and be summoned by others.

Inside, the Rinspeed features both a heads-up display and augmented windscreen technology that helps the driver to navigate the city and identify any potential hazards.

Passengers can also fold the steering wheel into a keyboard and relax in two large armchairs and watch the widescreen TV display that stretches across the entire car's width.

Other innovative and slightly mad new technology employed by Rinspeed includes a cooled/heated passenger bay that can stop your takeaway pizza from getting cold.

Another more useful feature is, instead of lengthy recharging, the Oasis can top up its charge by swapping its lithium cells for a pair of portable ones.

Finally, the little Rinspeed concept comes with incredible agility thanks, in part, to a pair of front wheels that can turn 90degrees to squeeze into the tightest of spaces.

More will be revealed on the Oasis in Vegas on 3 January 2017 when the concept is officially unveiled.
