Inside, the Zero Concept comes with a variety of user experience enhancing features such as high-end Yamaha speakers, customizable ambient lighting, on-board cameras, etc.
The Zero Concept was developed with the idea that vehicles can continue to evolve after leaving the factory. The SEA OS development ecosystem connects global developers and SEA-based models.
