VW Showcases Driverless Car at Geneva Auto Show

Volkswagen unveiled a concept driverless car at the 87th Geneva International Motor Show on March 6.

The company described it as a “comfortable lounge on wheels”, decked out with a voice assistant, like Apple’s Siri, and a windscreen that doubles as a massive TV.

The car is named Sedric.

“Sedric will drive the children to school and then take their parents to the office, look independently for a parking space, collects shopping that has been ordered, picks up a visitor from the station and a son from sports training – all at the touch of a button, with voice control or with a smartphone app – fully automatically, reliably and safely,” the VW said in a press release.

Volkswagen reports that Sedric can recognize users, with doors opening automatically. When passengers enter the car, they can talk to a virtual assistant to tell the vehicle where their destination and what music they prefer.
