Honda Helix

    The Helix will also be able to adapt to the different needs of the occupants by changing the orientation of the cabin and individualising its controls.

The wafer-thin Helix could pass as Honda's answer to the 2030 NSX supercar.

By then Honda's young designers believe we will have emerging technologies, such as genetic integration and advanced adaptive polymers. These polymers will be capable of shifting shape, colour or even material properties.

When mated with the driver's DNA genetic code, it will allow a vehicle to be an extension of the owner, evolving in parallel with them throughout their life. The Helix will have three distinct physical shapes - A, B and Z.

A is short and wide for cities with crowded roads, where agility and speed allow it to more easily navigate peak hour chaos. B is long and low for high-speed country drives over longer distances. Z is tall and thin for congested cities, allowing the occupants sit vertically on two levels to lessen the car's footprint on streets.

The Helix will also be able to adapt to the different needs of the occupants by changing the orientation of the cabin and individualising its controls.

Bio-receptors will allow the vehicle to micro-adjust even further to meet the drivers' demands. The Helix will be a global car designed to adapt, evolve and conform to user needs anywhere in the world. It will use insight gained from the human genome, biotechnology, and environmental forecasting, to conform to the driver and environment.
