The first appearance of SC1 Vision Concept in North America

Have you ever heard of Karma Automotive, maybe that name feels foreign to the ear. Yes we also agreed about that. Karma Automotive  is an electric car startup company from China. They are currently trying hard to be able to compete with the competitors in the global automotive market such as Tesla Motors and other well-known car manufacturer companies.

For such reason, some time ago, the company reportedly being prepared the North American debut for its pure electric vehicle called the Karma SC1 Vision Concept to show at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 2019. The company is said that the SC1 Vision Concept carries a variety of future technologies that are not just artistic designs, detailed elements and pure electric power platforms, which are the direction of Karma's goal in presenting its future vehicles.

Previously, the SC1 Vision Concept along with another two hybrid vehicle of the same company, ie. the 2020 Karma Revero GT and Karma Pininfarina GT have been launched at 2019 Shanghai Auto Show in April 2019. 

"This SC1 is a sign of the future of Karma," said Karma Automotive CEO Dr. Lance Zhou. "Designed and engineered in less than 12 months, the SC1 is a purely electric vehicle that explores innovative design and technology that enables the Open Platform collaboration strategy."

Also believed the SC1 Vision Concept has been integrated with 5G connection infotainment architecture and communication systems with touch, sound, eye and graphical interface. Then the sophisticated Artificial Intelligent technology is also reportedly implanted in this car to be able to understand commands and languages, while the camera-based system of eye monitoring allows biometric identification, allowing for vehicle ownership. 

There is another eye monitoring system that will monitor the driver's iris, eyebrows and facial features to monitor the driver whether he is getting bored and tired, and then AI will take over control of the vehicle.

Karma also said that there were eight radars, six Lidar sensors and half a dozen external cameras, so that the SC1 Vision Concept could be very ready for the autonomous driving system in the future, with cityscape and destination locations directly monitored real-time.

Furthermore the Karma's Vice President of Global Design and Architecture, Andreas Thurner added that the SC1 moved the mind and then gave rise to a new definition of luxury and style with different Karma's DNA.

And apparently the Southern California based company really kept its promise by displaying the Karma SC1 Vision Concept at Concept Lawn event at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 2019 on Sunday, August 18, 2019. While before at the Monterey Car Week event, the company also displayed a 2020 Karma Revero GT along with the Karma GT designed by Pininfarina. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | KARMA AUTOMOTIVE | AUTOBLOG]
