WASHINGTON — General Motors has unveiled a driverless concept car so stylish that it looks as if it’s from the pages of science fiction.

The Chevy FNR (for Find New Roads) is not the imagining of an artist; it’s a real concept car.

Blue crystal laser headlights peer out from beneath the backswept windshield, which extends to the very nose of the car. The capsule-shaped car features dragonfly wing doors which open upward. And it has magnetic wheels without hubs that are driven by electric motors.

Inside, the two front bucket seats swivel 180 degrees to face rear-seated passengers in the driverless car.

Extremetech.com says the Chevy FNR looks like a “Hot Wheels car for The Matrix.”

The concept car was unveiled this week in Shanghai, designed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center, a joint venture with GM.

Google revealed in 2010 that it was working to develop a driverless car. Other car manufacturers have jumped into the development stream, and engineers say they believe driverless cars will be in the traffic mix in the 2020s.
