What might private vehicle ownership look like in a world where driving is no longer necessary? Volkswagen Group, the world's biggest automaker by volume, is exploring just that with its Gen.Travel concept unveiled on Friday.SAE scale of self-driving capability
. Level 5 is the ultimate goal for companies developing self-driving technology, as it means a vehicle that can handle all of the same situations as a human. This capability has allowed the designers of the Gen.Travel to do away with a steering wheel and pedals. The seating is modular so that it can accommodate various functions. For example, a table can be installed and the chairs made to face it each other to create a lounge or office on wheels. Fully reclining seats can also be installed to create a bedroom on wheels. Voice activation and artificial intelligence can be used to control various functions.Volkswagen Group Gen.
Although the Gen.Travel isn't destined for production, VW Group said it provides a realistic outlook for mobility in the coming decade. The concept also serves as a means to gather feedback as to what members of the public desire in a vehicle where driving is no longer required, and some of that feedback may end up shaping features appearing in production models, the automaker said.
