LG's 'Vision Omnipod' Concept Vehicle Is A Futuristic RV On Steroids

At CES 2022, South Korean tech behemoth LG announced an autonomous futuristic concept vehicle called 'Vision Omnipod' that the company described as a "mobility concept solution that blurs the distinction between home and car." Concept vehicles are coming thick and fast in the new year, and one of the latest to have joined the list this week is the new Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX concept EV that has a range of 620 miles. Unlike the Mercedes, LG's Vision Omnipod is not an EV, but it still has plenty of tech to keep folks interested.

LG has never shied away from innovations, although not every new idea has worked for the company. One of the most glaring examples of innovation gone wrong was the LG G5 smartphone from 2016, but the company is still working on new ideas, as revealed by a recent patent application. According to the patent filing, the company is working on a bizarre concept laptop with three screens, although it's not immediately clear whether it will even make it to the market.

According to LG's website, the Omnipod is designed to blur the line between the house and the car. The vehicle looks like a standard van on the outside, but on the inside, it comes with a plethora of tech, including a slew of LG's own home appliances, including a refrigerator, TVs, and drink dispensers. All these devices would be upgradeable and are standardized for in-vehicle use. The well-appointed interiors look and feel somewhat like a lounge or a sitting area, with a reclining seat and a couch of sorts.
