Its future is envisaged as a community taxi, bus or some sort of shared commuter vehicle in which passengers exchange information about their destinations and travel times on the cloud.

Christoph Reifenrath, a Harman Technology marketing representative, says it's all simpler than it sounds.

"You just download an app and type in your destination. There will be feedback from the swarm telling you about cars that are going your way. You will choose a driver and send a request to him. He answers you, and from that moment on after he answers your request, you get information on where you will meet."

At first glance, the McLaren P1 might look like any supercar-sleek, fast, and yes, very expensive. But the McLaren P1 is also a hybrid car running on both a fuel-powered and electric engine.

It has a 3.8-liter V8, twin-turbo petrol engine coupled with an electric motor that can take the car from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in less than three seconds, and from zero to 300 kilometers per hour in 17 seconds.

The Geneva Auto Show runs until March 17th.
