The blend of sleek interiors with unimaginable technology has given a distinct identity to future cars. BMW’s incredible iVision Dee Advanced AI Concept Car features crisp interiors and spectacular innovation. Similarly, Volkswagen introduced GEN.TRAVEL in September 2022.
The iconic futuristic car is a real prototype and drives autonomously (Level 5).
Furthermore, it’s an electric-powered Innovation Experience Vehicle (IEV) and crosses all the edges of reality. With a modular interior concept, you can enjoy stress-free mobility. Due to that, GEN.TRAVEL truly represents the future of car interiors in Volkswagen’s autonomous cars.
VOLKSWAGEN’S GEN.TRAVEL – AN INTRODUCTION TO ITS CONCEPT CAR:
Most importantly, GEN.TRAVEL is a research concept car. It certainly gives a glimpse into the advanced technology and comfort in Volkswagen’s autonomous car interiors. Yet, its sole purpose is to test the functionalities of the product among customers. This New Auto strategy falls between the categories of a sedan and an MPV.
As mentioned before, its interiors are designed to offer minimal control and maximum comfort. The glazed atmosphere creates the ideal space for a relaxing 3-4 hour trip. Furthermore, the car will work as Mobility-as-a-Service, creating an alternative to short-haul flights.
THE INCREDIBLE INTERIOR OF GEN.TRAVEL CARS:
Behind polarized exteriors, lies a bright and convenient interior. The innovative interior design for self-driving Volkswagen vehicles gives GEN.TRAVEL a unique position. Similarly, the brightly lit interiors feature a handful of controls to make the ambiance even better.
Neutral colors cover the entire space with a play of contrasting tones. Most importantly, the interiors follow a ‘no-screen rule’. Hence, it doesn’t provide any screens and gives you the freedom to use your own.
The interiors even highlight one of the car’s vital devices- the Cursor. Cursor is located alongside the middle console. It provides smart controls for volume, temperature, and seat positioning settings. Likewise, ‘Luna’ is a digital onboard assistant on the car’s dashboard. It moves from left to right while visualizing the car’s journey.
All of these elements of HMI (Human-Machine Interface) are created using sustainable materials. For example, copper is blended with recycled or natural materials like karuun. This acts as a conductive liquid for HMI’s functional surfaces.
The seats are made with 3D knitting technology. The position of the seat can be adjusted as per our comfort. The table position on the front can be altered too. Therefore, by making these modifications, you can create a conference room or a space to work alone.
Thus, the interiors of GEN.TRAVEL is a ticket to a marvelous world. It showcases the awaited future of car interiors in Volkswagen’s autonomous cars. And GEN.TRAVEL itself is a creation for a smarter tomorrow.
