The NeuV is small, presumably lightweight, and obviously optimized for shuttling around cities, with tight parking and heavy traffic.  It has a large translucent canopy and the doors are marked out by the angular shards of metal run from wheel to wheel.  The engine is built to supposedly allow machines to generate their own emotions.

Honda has confirmed that the concept is an electric vehicle. Even though a steering wheel and dashboard can be spotted through the canopy the NeuV will also showcase autonomous abilities. The design of the concept vehicle hints at a couple of trends we're likely to become reality as commuter mobility is changed over the coming decades.
