Love the design & huge electric mileage, but I personally I don't have any use for the self driving stuff. Sadly concept cars like this rarely make it to market, and when/if they do they are usually stripped of all the aesthetics and features that make them amazing. I hear Tesla is working on a van very similar to this, and that has a much better chance of seeing the light of day!

Looks pretty cool. Sadly, since VW decided to never again bring in diesel powered vehicles I wont be buying one anytime soon! down.gif

Love the iconic VW microbus but can't believe it would pass any modern frontal crash test requirements; considering the crumble zone consists of your feet.

The electric part is cool. But it looks just like it's just another soccer family mini van, which is not what I want from a van.
