The concept car, called the BMW iVision Future Interaction, was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. The BMW's open design and minimalist interior gives us a taste of how driverless technology will continue to shape car designs.

Here's a closer look at BMW's latest concept:

Don't see any mirrors? That's because all of the mirrors were replaced by a three-camera system. BMW claims these cameras cover "larger viewing angles and eliminates dangerous blind spots."

The camera's images are streamed to the display pictured here, which is 21 inches! The display replaces the interior mirror entirely.

The display can be controlled using voice control, its touch screens, or even by making hand gestures. The dashboard is noticeably sparse because the display can do everything for you.

As far as driverless features go, this BMW concept has three drive modes: Pure Drive, Assist, and Auto Mode. Pure drive is for manually driving while assist offers some autopilot assistance. Auto mode is referred to as a "highly automated operation."

The concept car also offers "gesture control parking," allowing you to wave your hand when you want the car to pull in and out of a parking space.

There's no word on specs or if the car will ever become a production vehicle in some form, but we sure hope it does.
