<b> Jaguar I-Pace</b> Jaguar’s I-Pace all-electric concept blends art and technology in its interior. Rotary dials have the precision of a Patek Phillipe watch. Plus, the driver barely needs to lift a finger. For example, to open the glove box there’s no need to push a button - a simple hand gesture will do the trick. Swipe your hand across the glove box and voila, it opens and a tray table slides out for extra convenience.Petrina Gentile/The Globe and Mail

<b> Lincoln Navigator</b> Here’s a brilliant idea to get into the cabin of this monster Lincoln Navigator – sure its a concept, but the three-tiered power steps hideaway when closed.
