Volkswagen has kicked off its presence at this year's Geneva Motor Show with an electric,Two Couples Affair in Broad Daylight 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.

That interior, though. It's all comfy and nice with wooden details and soft carpets on the floor, with only some sort of holographic screen to entertain you and, perhaps, inform you.
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.
"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.
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.
The I.D. Vizzion is based on Volkswagen's freshly developed modular electrification toolkit (MEB), which will be the basis of 15 fully electric cars by 2025, Volkswagen claims.
