    The AP-0 also has an advanced LiDAR sensor which generates detailed maps of the vehicle’s surroundings. The company said this allows the car to more accurately identify potential hazards such as pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles. It allows the car to offer a Level 3 semi-autonomous driving system, and Apex hinted it could eventually be upgraded to a Level 4 system. Image Credit: Supplied

    Apex says the AP-0 produces exceptional downforce for impressive handling without the need for big spoilers, thanks in part to the big vertical fin which also forms part of the distinctive cross-shaped taillight. In fact, Apex found this look so distinctive that it became the company’s logo. Image Credit: Supplied

    Inside, it gets a square steering wheel and three-screen display for the driver. It contains a host of advanced technology and driver assist systems that can achieve Level 3 autonomy, and Apex says the infrastructure is there for Level 4 autonomy when it’s available... Image Credit: Supplied
