The Chrysler Halcyon is a concept electric sports sedan developed by the automobile manufacturer Chrysler, which was announced on February 13, 2024.[1]
Specifications[edit]
The vehicle is powered by an 800-volt lithium-sulfur battery. According to the references, it is estimated that the battery leaves 60% lower carbon footprint in manufacturing than most of other batteries.[2][3]
Its futuristic exterior and interior shapes are modern looking. Inside is equipped with a modern yoke steering wheel and pedals that connect to a technology included that could display various things on an augmented-reality display. A vertical 15.6-inch display screen can also be converted into an dashboard or can be stored away. The vehicle is also installed with an updated version of Chrysler's Stow N' Go technology. There are 4 doors on the car, 2 on either side and two butterfly-hinged canopy doors with one small-sized sunroof or skylight. Whereas most cars' seats could only let people sit normally, the vehicle's seats can extend and retract for a better comfortable sitting experience as well as controlling and adjusting the temperatures for the driver's and passenger's' comfort. [4][5]
Likewise, the vehicle also includes a special feature, Active Aero Technology, which produces breathable air in the vehicle and front air curtains to maintain air quality and driving dynamics.[5]
A built-in 360-degrees glass windshield will allow the driver and passengers a panoramic view gives the driver and its passengers an immersive driving experience, as well helping the driver from preventing any possible dangerous driving situations on the road. The windshield can also be served to be used as a augmented reality heads up display (or AR HUD for short). The AR HUD can be used to show information about the roads, such as nearby traffic issues, without keeping the eyes away on the road.[1]
According to references, Chrysler announced to have the car mostly made out of recycled items. Some examples are the brand new LED illuminated Chrysler wing logo, as well as the steering wheel, front seats inserts and door sills, will be all made from recycled music CDs. [4][1][6] Chrysler's CEO, Christine Feuell, also said: "All of the design elements being very modern and sleek and aerodynamic, with the use of sustainable materials, with the tune of 95% of the interior is sustainable," making the car not only modern but environmentally friendly. [7]
Technology[edit]
The vehicle has been said to use advanced technology in the car. They announced that they could make the vehicle drive endlessly on unlimited range by placing them on road lanes, equipped with Chrysler's Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer Capability technology, with sensors connecting with the other sensors below the ground to activate the electricity located below the road.[5][6]
The vehicle also offers 4 modes of driving, which are Prepare Mode, Entry Mode, Drive Mode, and Exit Mode. These 4 modes all have different and unique abilities and commands. In Prepare Modes, a virtual Stellantis AI assistant presents you with all of the day's schedules and connects any devices, such as smartphones, and can be used to send notifications. The Entry Mode uses biometrics recognition, and detects if the person is the vehicle owner. It also controls the Stow n' Go and detects if any items need to be stored away for storage. There is also space for a small workspace that can be used to "go to work" while the car drives, which is an addition to this mode. Drive Mode (also known as STLA AutoDrive Level 4 Autonomy) is autonomous driving. Exit Mode can be used to drop off passengers or the driver and automatically drive off to park by itself, yielding nearby pedestrians with sensors. On the road, it can also be used as in charge of controlling the Chill Mode, which adjusts the temperatures for the driver's and passenger's comfort. It will also automatically activate the AR HUD for their in-vehicle entertainment, based on their view history, opinions, and rating. The Chill Mode is not technically a mode.[5][6]
