VW have spent quite a lot of time and effort coming up with a series of concepts to support their vision of the “autonomous car”. In the future, say VW, you won’t need to bother with driving because the car will do that for you. Better yet, you won’t need to worry about parking your car because the car will drop you off where you need to be and then go off and park itself. When you are done shopping, working, eating, whatever it was you were up to, you can use an iPhone app to let the car know you are ready to be picked up and it will come and get you. VW even envision a future where people won’t need to own a car themselves, they will have a kind of time share arrangement in a car (or perhaps a pool of cars) which they then use as and when they need them. They have quite a natty little video telling you all about their vision.
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned to VW that there is this thing called a taxi.
