Renault, a French multinational automobile manufacturer has announced a concept car that boasts its own drone.

The ‘KWID concept’ has a built-in drone quadcopter which helps in checking out the traffic up ahead from the comfort of the driver’s seat.

At the Delhi auto show, this mind-blowing piece of technology amazed everyone.  The flying companion can be operated in two different modes- the automatic mode with the help of pre-programmed flying sequence and the GPS coordinates that can control the copter with the help of the tablet inside the vehicle.

The flying companion serves multiple purposes including scouting traffic, taking landscape pictures and detecting obstacles on the road ahead. The quadcopter can inform you about forthcoming obstacles, show you images of what’s ahead on the road, helps you in gauging the traffic and can also video you as you drive- isn’t this amazing?

Inspired by a bird’s nest, the design and seating arrangement for this concept car are a bit different too. Three people can be accommodated in the front seat with the driver sitting in the middle- yes that’s something new to us.

Right now KWID is just a concept with an uncertainty whether we’ll be able to see it hit the road. Designed for the Indian masses, this incredible technology is
