Cadillac and e& Collaborate to Bring the Coveted ‘Car of The Future’ to GITEX 2022

Cadillac Arabia and e& (formerly known as Etisalat Group) are collaborating to bring the InnerSpace concept — a dramatic, two-passenger electric and fully autonomous luxury vehicle – to the region’s most prominent technology event, GITEX Global 2022.

Taking the coveted ‘Car of the Future spot, widely regarded as the most visited display at the exhibition, the InnerSpace Concept will proudly be on show at the e& stand within The Technology Innovators Showcase.

Intending to transform 25 per cent of the total transportation in Dubai to autonomous mode by 2030, the InnerSpace Concept exemplifies what the future of mobility could look like within the Emirate, UAE and the Arab world. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies designed to enhance the passenger experience, the InnerSpace Concept allows two passengers to focus on enjoying their trips safely, representing autonomous mobility as an ally of wellness and increased personal time.

InnerSpace forms part of a trio of visionary automobiles from The Cadillac Halo Concept Portfolio, including PersonalSpace (VTOL) and SocialSpace (PAV). The portfolio solves future customers’ complex daily transportation needs whilst acknowledging their desires for experiential fulfilment and ethical product choices. It also embodies this vision for the next decade and beyond, showing how General Motors’ can achieve its goal of a world with Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion.

“At Cadillac, we have a vision for the future to provide our clients with effortless travel through extraordinary means. We have introduced groundbreaking technologies for over ten decades to deliver the most comprehensively advanced driving experience in every era. InnerSpace takes it a step further by completely reimagining the user experience of a fully autonomous luxury car. To bring this to Dubai, one of the most forward-thinking cities in the Arab world that is already embracing autonomy is a real privilege. Thank you to e& for partnering with us for this incredible showcase and believing in our future vision to make automobiles cleaner, safer and better,” said Kristian Aquilina, Managing Director of Cadillac International Operations and Cadillac Middle East.

The vehicle’s fully autonomous capability means passengers can explore more of the world around them and inside the car. More personal and tailored experiences add new dimensions to Cadillac’s signature luxury experience.

AI-driven biometric input and interfaces, accessible via a large, immersive, panoramic SMD LED display, allow passengers to select from Augmented Reality Engagement, Entertainment and Wellness Recovery themes for their drive. Thanks to Ultifi, Cadillac engineers and authorized third parties can innovate additional articles and features that can be added over the air.

With the Ultium Platform’s wireless battery management system, the battery modules are spread about the concept vehicle, which allows designers to optimize the cabin for spaciousness and serenity. This design freedom also allowed for a low-profile floor, providing a shallow, sports car-like seating position.

On the exterior, the dramatically designed InnerSpace features expansive, panoramic glass on the roof and part of the body sides for almost unimpeded views. The top opens with the doors for more comfortable entry and egress, and the seats also pivot outward when the doors are opened, enhancing the effect.

Even InnerSpace’s tires are designed to contribute to its solace. Developed by Goodyear for electrified vehicles, they feature SoundComfort technology intended to help mitigate soundwave resonance within the tire for a quiet ride. At the same time, soybean oil and rice husk-based silica replace petroleum-based oil as crucial ingredients in their construction.

And because autonomous driving takes away some of the driver’s connection with the road, Goodyear SightLine, Goodyear’s tire intelligence technology, conveys essential information about pressure, temperature, load and other performance factors.
