The Volkswagen Self Driven Cars of the Future (Sedric)

I love this. News just got out that in about 8 years, Volkswagen would be lunching a level 5 fully autonomous self driven car. This is really exciting. A level 5 means the car means no human intervention is needed while driving.

"Volkswagen is planning for the future. Today the automaker laid out its plans for Sedric -- short for "self-driving car" -- a sort of hybrid between car ownership and ride-sharing. The boxy, Level 5 autonomous vehicle (no need for a human driver) is summoned by a remote dubbed "The Button" and from there "a single touch of the button guarantees mobility for everyone, at any time and at any location," according to a press 
release.









Not into sharing your car with anyone else with The Button? It sounds like you won't have to. The Sedric concept is also being pitched as a private autonomous taxi that can handle everything from dropping the kids off at school to picking up pre-ordered groceries.

More than just a car, VW is pitching Sedric as a sort of rolling digital assistant as well. You'll apparently be able to tell the car where to drive you, how to get there. The windshield isn't really a windshield either, it's an OLED display that feeds passengers data about their surroundings." (Engadget.com)
