VW's Gen Travel - A Tech Showcase on Wheels

Volkswagen has developed a remarkable, new, Level 5 autonomous, electric travel pod that's futuristic, wild and very cool.  Called the Gen Travel, the self-driving, all electric, pod-like vehicle is an innovative design study which VW has already produced as a prototype.  It can carry 4 passengers and the interior can be customized for the nature of each trip. For example, it can be equipped with a conference table for businesspeople to work on.  Or it can be outfitted as an entertainment center on wheels with augmented reality.  And, for those just off a red-eye flight, it offers dynamic, restful lighting and reconfigurable seats that can help induce a snooze.  The cabin is bubble-like glass designed to promote autonomous relaxation as you're driven along the road.  With its gullwing doors for easy entrance and exit, it is truly a unique, new automotive vehicle.

VW's Vision of the Future of Autonomous Driving

For VW, Gen Travel is a research project designed to push the limits of autonomous mobility as a service.  VW expects to utilize some of the advanced technologies in Gen Travel in the upcoming autonomous cars that VW will start producing in 2025.  Some of the technologies are breakthrough.  For instance, VW says that a combination of AI and "platooning", which is automated driving in convoys of vehicles, should provide exceptional range on a charge for the vehicle.  Also, the vehicle is fully electric and has an Electric Active Body Control, that calibrates the car's movements and adjusts the suspension to make the ride as smooth as possible.  VW's Gen Travel is a novel, new and fascinating approach to the future of travel.  For more news stories like this, Future Travel Vehicles
