Mini Cooper Vision Next 100 Concept Revealed

The MINI brand isn’t even 100 years old, but parent BMW is already planning its second century. The MINI Vision Next 100 is part of a series of concepts that also includes the BMW Vision Next 100 and Rolls-Royce Vision Next 100, debuting during BMW’s centennial year.

Like the BMW and Rolls concepts, the MINI Vision Next 100 is built around the assumption that autonomous cars will become commonplace in the next few decades. It seeks to adapt MINI’s signature emphasis on personalization to a future where self-driving cars and car-sharing or ride-sharing services combine to make actually owning a car unnecessary.
