Transparent Car on Display at Frankfurt Auto Show

A transparent vehicle has been put on display for this week's Frankfurt Motor Show.

The sedan was built to showcase auto supply company TRW Automotive's safety technology, which is normally hidden behind other automotive parts, according to the Daily Mail.

In photos of the vehicle you can see a number of different features that are normally hidden like airbags, steering and braking systems, and sensors that all combine to keep the vehicle safe.

The sensors can collect data from 360 degrees around the vehicle.

"Over the next decade, active safety systems will become increasingly intelligent as greater efforts are made to reduce the number of road fatalities worldwide," said John Plant, chairman and CEO of TRW Automotive, in a press statement.

The vehicle doesn't include every safety feature normally used in a modern vehicle however, as its blind spot mirrors have been taken off.

An active seatbelt was designed for the concept to "reduce slack in driving situations and decrease the possibility of passengers being out of position and more susceptible to injury," the company said, according to the Daily Mail.

An electrically powered steering system was also shown off at the auto show, which offers fuel-saving benefits according to the auto company.

TRW Automotive feels that cars will come equipped with more safety systems in the next ten years or so that can predict road conditions no matter what the scenario.

"'More automated functions will be introduced that will operate continuously in certain situations in addition to providing emergency support when needed," Plant said.

TRW currently supplies a number of major automotive companies like Ford, General Motors, Toyota, and Mercedes-Benz.
