VW unveils new fully electric, self-driving car

It could certainly make the school run a little easier. This is Volkswagen's vision of the family car of the future – otherwise known as the'smart lounge on wheels'. It has no need for a steering wheel, driver's seat, dash board or pedals, as it drives completely by itself. The car is operated by voice and gesture control - with the passenger simply having to state where they want to go and use a hand signal to get the car to move. And it even'recognises' its owners via a facial scan, opening the door for them.
