Rinspeed Snap

Published on Dec 13, 2017


Gentex Corporation provided key technologies for the latest concept vehicle from automotive think tank and car design powerhouse Rinspeed, which for nearly 40 years has churned out designs intended to inspire the transportation industry and promote future mobility systems.

Rinspeed’s latest, called Snap, would allow users to summon a vehicle-sized “skateboard” that would dock with personalized passenger “pods” and autonomously drive them to work, shopping, camping, or anywhere they wanted to go.

For Snap, Gentex provided unique biometric passenger authentication modules, vehicle-to-home automation control, and dimmable glass sensor shrouds.

Disruptive, modular, flexible: The autonomous car of the future enabled by NXP technology

Published on Jan 31, 2019


Ultimate flexibility — the Rinspeed MicroSnap shows what's possible when the pod separates from the chassis. Use a passenger pod to shuttle colleagues to work in the morning, then swap it for a hot meal delivery service that brings lunch later. All of the pods use the same chassis, which is loaded with NXP solutions from the connectivity, driver replacement, powertrain and vehicle dynamics, body and comfort, and in-vehicle experience domains. Whether shared, owned or rented, the uses of this concept car are endless!
