Bentley’s Car of the Future Is So Luxurious, It’s Self-Chauffeured

  • Electric concept combines artificial intelligence, fallen wood
  • 100-year-old British brand grapples with Brexit in near term

For Bentley Motors Ltd., the future of luxury driving combines electric motors, artificial intelligence and the scent of moss and sandalwood.

In honor of its 100th anniversary, the maker of the official car of Queen Elizabeth II unveiled the EXP 100 GT concept, sketching a vision that fuses self-driving technology with interior comforts featuring special scents, wood from naturally fallen trees and seats made from wine-making leftovers.
