Volkswagen unveil their vision of the future

Jul 15th, 2008 by Motor Dude

Volkswagen have released their first images of their vision of the automotive world 20 years from now.

“Our designers and developers have created three innovative vehicle concepts exclusively for this web special in order to illustrate the automotive world of tomorrow. We have called them ‘one’, ‘ego’, and ‘room.’ They give an idea of the shape that our visions of the future could take. They demonstrate how the cars of the future can communicate with traffic lights, how holographic displays in the cockpit can assist the driver and how we can generate even more driving pleasure and still keep our cars emission-free,” Jochen Sengpiehl, Head of Marketing, Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand, explained.

If the Volkswagen 'Room' is a window to the future, someone better warm up the Delorean because I'm thinking I'd rather step back in time rather than forward.

Ugghh... looks like Volkswagen have decided to lodge a new challenger for my top 10 ugliest concept cars list.

The Volkswagen 'One' looks like a seat on wheels, that just may topple over at any second.

The Volkswagen 'Ego' is clearly the pick of the bunch, although I'm not sure whether I'm looking at the front or the back? I'm also guessing that in the future, windscreens are an optional extra.
