Mat’s flown over to Croatia to check out a very special car!

He’s headed over to Rimac’s newly built campus, but he’s not checking out an all-new, all-electric hypercar - he will get up close and personal with Rimac’s new robotaxi concept! That’s right, the creators of the 1,914hp Rimac Nevera are creating an autonomous taxi!

So let’s take a closer look at the car. It’s called Verne, and Rimac are hoping it will start rolling out by as early as 2026! In terms of the size of the car, it looks like it could easily blend in within a city without standing out as an autonomous car. On the outside, it’s covered in sensors to help it manoeuvre around the streets, and in this early stage of development, the plan is for it to run only within cities rather than making longer journeys out of town.

On the inside, there are only two seats, and on the dash, there’s a huge screen that displays all the information you’ll need. It shows details of your journey, and comes with a choice of music, apps, and even the ability to play on an Xbox! The seats are highly customisable, with the option to recline should you so wish.

The taxi can be hailed via an app, and before it arrives you’ll even have the option to set the interior temperature and light settings!

The Verne is powered by a 60kWh battery which should offer enough range to run for a whole day in a city. It has a motor that drives the front wheels, can deliver around 200hp, and it weighs in at 2,100kg.

So what are your thoughts on the Verne? And more importantly, could it be a serious contender to Tesla’s upcoming autonomous taxi?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
