Description[]
The GM AUTOnomy was a hydrogen-powered concept car, notable as the first concept car designed around a fuel cell system as well as the first fuel cell vehicle with drive-by-wire controls. No pedals and no steering wheel were present; instead an aircraft-like manual control was present. Use of this was optional, hence the "AUTOnomy" name. The car uses a skateboard-style chassis. After its unveiling, the vehicle was put on display at the Test Track attraction at Disney's Epcot before it was removed in 2012 with the attraction's revamp.
The casting features a removable body. The casting is named GM Autonomy in certain early promotional material, such as the 2003 Guide Book.
