Mercedes Benz is showing off its concept self-driving car - the F 015 'Luxury in Motion' - in testing sites across the United States. The automotive company does not expect self-driving cars to be legal until 2025, but wants to show off its own impressions of the future of driving.

Unlike some of the other concept vehicles, Mercedes believes driving will become less about sitting in front of the wheel, and more about interacting with the car to get access to the Internet, play games, and chat with other people from inside the car.

It has added touchscreen panels on every side of the F 015; all will be connected to the internet, or show images of the outside of the car.

Front seat riders will be able to swivel the chair 180 degrees to face the back seat chairs. Mercedes is hoping that by the time the F 015 comes to market, regulators will have removed the need to always have control of the steering wheel.

The F 015 still has a steering wheel and the tools for driving, but as Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk pointed out, by 2025, regulators may force drivers to use self-driving technology in order to avoid accidents that can happen when humans are driving.

This is but one concept being worked on by the automotive industry. In the next few years, companies like Ford, General Motors, Tesla Motors and BMW will all have a role to play in the self-driving revolution.  The question is who will come out on top?
