Renault reveals concept car that comes with a DRONE



Renault has revealed a car with its own traffic spotting drone.
The Kwid concept has a small quadcopter that can be released from its roof.
Renault hope the craft will be able to go ahead to spot what is causing jams, or look for potential problems.

HOW IT WORKS
The drone is stored at the back of the car's roof.
When the driver presses a button, a flap opens and the drone is free to fly.
It can automatically follow the car, or be sent ahead along a preprogrammed route.
Live video and other information is displayed on a dashboard mounted tablet as it flies, and it can automatically return to the car at the press of a button.

The concept is powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine mated to a dual-clutch transmission, and according to the company it’s been designed to take an electric engine as well.
The Kwid was revealed at the Delhi motor show in India, with the French automaker looking to get back into the Indian market, where high-riding compact crossovers are the norm.
'The vehicle’s robust, yet fun design, along with its technology-driven features, is targeted at meeting the needs of young customers in these markets,' Renault said.
'This concept car offers a fun, yet robust design combined with hyper connectivity.'
