Design

The Precept has a wheelbase of 122 inches and lacks B-pillars.[2] Its design focuses on sustainability, with the interior materials utilizing flax, recycled plastic bottles, and recycled cork vinyl;[2] minimalism and athleticism are also focuses of the design.[3]

Lidar is incorporated into the roof,[1][2][3] and there is an additional sensor array called the "SmartZone" of dual radar and a high-definition video camera built into the front of the car in place of a grille.[1][2] The side and rear-view mirrors have all been replaced with cameras.[1][2] The Precept runs Android Auto.[2][3]
