Volkswagen’s vision for tomorrow includes a world of intelligent connectivity and sustainable vehicles.
The German automaker’s presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show in January will focus on the networking of people, vehicles and surrounding environments.
“Thanks to App Connect, our customers can already connect just about any smartphone with their vehicle – but with the Volkswagen User-ID we’re taking things a major step further,” said Dr Volkmar Tanneberger, head of Electrical and Electronic Development at VW.
“The seamless integration of Partner Services combined with our own online services will create an entirely new user experience.”
VW will also debut new display and control concepts in Las Vegas, building on the systems used in the Golf R Touch (CES 2015) and BUDD-e (CES 2016). Furthermore, VW will showcase its I.D electric vehicle concept for the first time in America, a car that combines the digitally networked world with an electric-powered and fully automated vehicle, featuring an innovative control system.
The I.D is actually the brand’s first EV based on the new Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB) architecture, and its styling previews VW’s future range of electric cars, set to go on sale in 2020.
