Volkswagen has kicked off its presence at this year's Geneva Motor Show with an electric, self-driving vehicle that's more like a lounge on wheels than an actual car.。
The atrociously named I.D. Vizzion has 665 kilometers (413 miles) of range and an incredibly sparse interior -- think Tesla Model 3 but without a steering wheel or pedals. 。

Volkswagen says the I.D. Vizzion is designed for level 5 autonomy which means fully autonomous driving without any need for human intervention. 。
Obviously, the I.D. Vizzion is a just a concept at this stage, but the interesting thing about it is that Volkswagen swears it will actually bring this car to market in the not-too-distant future.。I want that screen.Credit: Volkswagen。
"The I.D. Vizzion is our very realistic vision for a Volkswagen of the future. And we will be offering this model – by the latest in 2022 as the top sedan in the I.D. family with the innovative I.D. cockpit and a steering wheel," said Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess. 。No steering wheel.

Notice the mention of the steering wheel. We don't know what the car Volkswagen actually brings to market will look like, but it will likely be significantly different from the concept outlined above.。
