British car brand MINI has unveiled its Vision Urbanaut concept vehicle, which adapts its interior space via a disc-shaped device that turns the dashboard into a daybed and the windscreen into a balcony.
The fully electric Vision Urbanaut concept has an expansive interior with moveable elements that help create three different configurations or "moments". MINI has labelled these Chill, Wanderlust and Vibe.
These three designs, which offer both a more conventional car format fit for driving and a living-room-like space, are supported by the vehicle's autonomous capabilities.
The car's interior can be changed using the MINI Token
At the centre of the vehicle is a table with three indents on its surface. Users can switch between the three preconfigured interior layouts by placing a disc-shaped device, called the MINI Token, into one of these openings. Above the table, a circular screen displays driver information and can also be bent downwards to act as a light.

Travellers enter the 4.46 metre-long vehicle through a large sliding door positioned on the side of the car ? the only door on the whole vehicle.
The two front seats are designed to rotate, while the bench-like two-seater at the rear can be folded outwards to face a different direction.
