Of course not everyone will use all of the available tech-options, but there are some features that sound really nice to me. For example the wireless inductive charge - parking places, the recognition of your vital signs to improve safety and gadgets like the communication with your alarm clock or sound system. However other than that, a car will never be able (nor should it be!) to replace personal communication or more spontaneous decisions which only you can make...
not everything should be controled, no matter what the medium. my take on this car is that it's just another device like many others that are used for taking control from the user. i don't mean in a conspiracy way. i mean it in a more ''lazy man's'' way. there are gps devices that warn us about accidents, an alarm clock to wake us up and planers/phones that take care of our interaction with workplace and social life...
...all these devices that adjust themselves automaticaly, while sometimes being usefull are making us look like we can't take control of our own lives. and we need something to constantly look after us.
i really don't need my car, phone or whatever to tell me that my friend found a good restaurant, i'll ask him myself if he/she does. while i recognise a car like this, as a design student i have to ask myself is letting the car do so much taking it to far? i urge you to do the same.
who is actually going to use all of these options....people will leave out those options just to get a bargain on the vehicle purchase, and I don't want my car saving all my personal information, tech hackers will always find ways to hack anything, from phones, to touchpads, to PC's....and most definitely cars are not exempt from this. I'll keep my car to being 4 wheels and an engine.....nothing more....its all about the dynamic driving experience, technology irritates me while driving

While the technology of this car is super advanced, the same cannot be said about the styling of the car.
