We’re big fans of Volvo here at AutoVolt and with good reason. The Swedish company has always produced innovative products that offer a slightly unconventional approach to the norm and lately their design has come along leaps and bounds.

Nissan’s Geneva 2016 stand has their IDS Concept on show, which demonstrates the company’s vision for autonomous driving technology.
