Rimac self-driving taxi, sci-fi appearance, standard 43-inch display, 2026 layout.
Rimac will launch a new robotaxi service, called Verne, which will be launched in Croatia in 2026 and then expanded to markets such as the UK, Germany and the Middle East. Judging from the official pictures released, the design of the whole vehicle is very sci-fi, the area of the front windshield accounts for two-thirds of the entire front of the car, and there is a "VERNE" illuminated car logo in the middle of the two layers of soundproof glass, and the edge of the closed grille is added to the ring-shaped light band, and the partition LED light strip is also very elegant. The gloss black grille has added a lot of radar, cameras, and light and thermal sensors. The snap-in black front bumper features an upright heat vent design.
The body has an awl-shaped profile, and in addition to a front-windshield with a large angle, it is equipped with concealed door handles and low-drag wheels. In addition, the car can also hide equipment such as lidar and cameras, while eliminating the design of wipers and exterior mirrors. The rear of the car is distinctly layered, with a huge rear spoiler with a custom high-mounted brake light design and a double bar of red taillights. The black rear bumper is very cohesive.
The new car will also be opened with a side sliding door and unlocked with a combination lock. The roof adopts a large oval sunroof design, with wide side windows around it, which also brings abundant natural light, and the interior adopts an enclosed space, and the wrap-around front center console is equipped with a 43-inch display to display vehicle information and entertainment systems, and there is a control screen in the center of the seat for control of entertainment information and comfort functions, and you can see that the seats are equipped with leg rests, while the heating and ventilation systems are not absent. The large area of high-quality leather material and silver chrome elements also bring a high-end touch at your fingertips.
Rimic will also design a new app for Verne, which can turn on the location function on the mobile phone to request a ride in advance, and the vehicle can also set the temperature, sound, lighting, seat angle and smell of the car on the way to make it more user-friendly. Once on board, the physical button in the center is used to start/end the trip.
Comments: With the rapid development of science and technology, coupled with the function of intelligent interconnection, even taxis will become autonomous driving in the future. The Rimac Verne will also be equipped with Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities. It can safely, quickly and efficiently get you to the destination you want to reach. This fully autonomous driverless taxi will arrive in 2026, are you looking forward to it?
