VW Group Sedric Concept Self Driving Pod & VW Group Media Night – Video

Sedric (SElf-DRIving-Car) represents the vision of VW Group for future shared mobility, one where a human driver is no longer required.

The concept is the first one to be launched under the VW Group umbrella -and not a specific brand of the group- and will spawn a number of concepts from the Group’s brands in the near future.

The highlight of the electric Sedric is the so-called Button; press it and Sedric will come to you in order to drive you to your desired destination, with a ring indicating the vehicle’s arrival time, as well as colored and vibration signals guiding a person with impaired vision to the car.

In addition, the windscreen is a big OLED screen featuring augmented reality to serve as a communication and entertainment center, with passengers able to talk to Sedric about their destination, how to get there, the driving time, the current traffic situation and more.

The 2+2 layout of the cabin makes the Sedric feel more like a lounge and less like a car, with the two rear seats acting as a comfy couch and air-purifying plants placed in front of the rear windscreen.

 

Changes in the automotive world are continuing apace and pose significant challenges for us all. How will it be possible in future to deliver individual mobility that is both exciting and sustainable? As far as we are concerned, it will certainly be fascinating – it will make journeys more pleasant, safer and more efficient. The Volkswagen Group is working hard on this new mobility.
