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.

All three will be built on a single shared platform, which should help keep costs low.

When the vehicle isn't operating autonomously, certain components like the cameras under the side mirrors are capable of retracting into the body.

What's perhaps most interesting is that Byton doesn't really refer to its concepts as cars, but rather as smart devices.

That's the way many startups are treating cars -- as a means to a connected end.
