Peugeot unveiled a stunning concept car that can drive itself by Danielle Muoio on Feb 28, 2017, 9:54 AM Advertisement
 French car manufacturer Peugeot unveiled a stunning concept for an autonomous future, on Monday. Called the Instinct Concept, the vehicle is designed to learn from your habits to adjust the driving experience accordingly. For example, the car can access your calendar to know when you are traveling to an important meeting and will adjust the route to ensure you get there with plenty of time.

Although consumers are beginning to adopt connected internet devices like Amazon’s Alexa, we have yet to enter a reality where everyday homeowners are connecting their lights and TVs to the internet on a mass scale.
But that's the kind of reality the Instinct Concept is meant to thrive in. Peugeot outlines a world where your car talks to your smartwatch to see if you've met your fitness goals, and if not, will park farther away to increase the number of steps you take. 
The concept comes with four different driving modes — two for active, manual driving, and two separate autonomous modes. If you still want to maintain control of the car, there's Drive Boost or Drive Relax.  Drive Boost is for true, sporty driving where you want to be in total control for winding roads. Drive Relax, on the other hand, uses semi-autonomous tech like advanced cruise control to assist the driver.
