You and your pals just got trashed and need a ride home? Not to worry, Renault’s EZ-GO has Level 4 autonomous driving capability that will be able to reach you via an app. Think Uber, but without a driver and without the possibility of the driver exposing himself.

The Range Rover SV Coupe decided to take off the two rear doors and just go forth with two doors total. The world’s first full-size luxury SUV also has an InControl Touch Pro Duo which comes with two 10-inch touchscreens and a 12-inch screen in place of a panel filled with other buttons you probably won’t ever use.

Let’s just say that Rimac’s new C_2 electric hypercar will have 1,888 horsepower. And guess what? It will be able to go 60 miles per hour in just 1.85 seconds, and to a top speed of 256 mph. Jesus.
Things are just getting started, so there will be plenty more of awesome things coming from the Geneva Motor Show — mainly cars that we won’t be able to ever afford, but at least we can drool over it while we take the crowded subway home.
The Geneva Motor Show runs through March 18th.
