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.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
