Volkswagen Group Debuts Its Self-Driving Car 'Sedric' At The Geneva Auto Show: A Level 5 Vehicle, It Will Be Completed Automated And Fully Electric

International Business Times

The Volkwagen Group is driving forward amid a lawsuit following the scandal involving cheated emissions tests, planning to unveil new technologically advanced vehicles at the Geneva Motor Show, including a completely self-driving car. The show begins Thursday, March 9, and will last 10 days in Geneva, Switzerland, but the Volkswagen Group unveiled their newest concept a bit early. As a step in the direction of innovation -- and a fresh image -- Volkswagen Group CEO Matthias Müller announced that the company is aiming to have more than 30 solely battery powered vehicles offered by 2025. The company also announced the work they've done on their first self-driving concept vehicle called "Sedric," a project the company plans to continue investing in. Sedric will be the model for a Level 5 automated vehicle, meaning it will be completely automated and fully electric. It has no cockpit, no pedals and no steering wheel, according to a press release.
