AUTOMOTIVE An intelligent future for Grand Touring Enhancing the occupants experience of their extraordinary journey in the Bentley EXP 100 GT is the Bentley Personal Assistant AI. This advanced, intelligent system defines the Grand Tourer of the future as it delivers a highly personalised experience to the passenger based on five distinct modes with individual characteristics: Enhance, Cocoon, Capture, Re-Live and Customise. Interaction with the AI is made through hand gestures made to the front or rear Cumbria Crystal interfaces that intuitively interpret the commands. Enhance harvests inputs from the outside environment, such as light, sound, smell and air quality, offering a holistic grand tour, and a feeling of open top motoring from under the glass canopy. Cocoon creates a protective space, including air purification and glass areas that turn opaque for privacy; while Capture records experiences from both inside and outside the car which become part of your car’s unique history. Re-Live replays highlights of your Grand Tour, while Customise combines elements of all the different modes and are individually selected by the driver or passenger. A really stunning inspiration in terms of design which I genuinely love, an impressive yet in perfect proportion body filled with innovation, handcrafted passion that you can feel, sustainability even artificial intelligence. Cannot wait to experience one on the road! Centenary Celebrations The year 2019 marks Bentley’s 100th year - an extraordinary milestone achieved by only a few companies.
