Renault's new concept car, the Kwid, is chock-full of futuristic ideas, including a flying quadrocopter drone that would launch from the car's roof.
The "flying companion," as Renault calls it, could be controlled manually (from a tablet on the car's dashboard) or fly autonomously in order to warn about traffic jams and other problems on the road ahead. It could also relay live video back to the car.
Kwid, first shown at the 2014 New Dehli Auto Expo, is a small SUV vehicle with a very modern design, which Renault thinks would fit in great into India's roads.
Its little flying buddy is not the only fun thing about the Kwid, though. The car's interior is unapologetically modern, with a centrally positioned wheel and a tablet on the left. Renault envisions a front-wheel drive and a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine for Kwid, but there's no word on when such a vehicle could actually hit the market.
Check out an additional video showing Kwid's flying drone in more detail, below.
