Bosch's CES 2017 concept car is all about personalization

With a heavy focus on turning the car into a third living space, alongside the home and office, Bosch's concept car packs a bunch of interesting features.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

The exterior is pretty neat, but that's not really the part that matters.

What matters is the tech underneath it all, and how it attempts to provide the most personalized space possible.

There are screens for both driver and passenger, as well as a center stack that's also a large collection of screens.

The screens provide haptic feedback.

But touching a screen is so 2013.

Bosch's concept car also packs a gesture control system that somehow also provides haptic feedback, although it's not entirely clear how.

Gesture controls can be used for a wide variety of purposes, although they're still a bit clunky in everyday 2016 use.

Don't expect that steering wheel to ever exist. That looks painful to hit on the edge.

The car can also access a variety of smart home features so that everything is ready for the first step through the door.
