With the rapid development of communication technologies and extended reality (XR), the services and applications of the Metaverse are gradually entering our lives. However, the current development of the Metaverse provides users with services that are homogeneous with the user experience that the Internet has brought in the past, making them more like an extension of the Internet. In addition, as a mobile application carrier for the Metaverse, it is also worth considering how vehicles with diverse onboard components can develop in synergy with the Metaverse. In this article, we focus on the core of the Metaverse, namely user experience, and provide a road map from Metaverse to Metaverse vehicles (Metavehicles). Specifically, we first elaborate on six features of the Metaverse from the perspective of user experience and propose a hierarchical framework for the Metaverse based on the evolutionary logic of the features. Under the guidance of this framework, we discuss the empowerment of onboard components of Metavehicles on the development of the Metaverse, and analyze the service experience that Metavehicles can bring to two types of users, namely drivers and passengers. Finally, considering the differentiated development levels of Metaverse and autonomous driving, we further establish a hierarchical framework for Metavehicles from three aspects (i.e., enhance Metaverse, enhance driving experience, and enhance entertainment experience), providing an evolutionary path for the development of Metavehicles.
