I do not quite understand this, but a “modern luxurious” car that looks like a Waja and sells at RM130,000 (~US$35,000)? Not to mention it doesn’t even come with airbags? I really doubt how likely we’ll be able to spot a Proton Chancellor on the road.

Not yet, but General Motor has announced that they will produce cars that feature self-driving system known as the Traffic Assist, which uses lasers, video camera and a computer to recognize signs, detect obstacles, and of course, control the cars. The system is said to be able to maneuver the car at up to 60 mph even in heavy traffic.

Switch that Autopilot on!

Ok, so you had a sneak peak into the new Proton Savvy here. Now, if you don’t have the time to the showroom, and you haven’t seen the real car, here are the photos of the real Proton Savvy.

By the way, Proton Savvy is way below my expectation. The interior is horribly ugly and the materials used are .. well, not of high standards, I must say. But I believe it will considerably affect the sales of Perodua Kelisa. Myvi? No way.

Enjoy the photo show. Excuse me for the quality of these photos, it was taken using my phone.
