Volkswagen made a stark addition to its lineup at the 2016 NY Auto Show this year w/ this amazing electric concept vehicle. Meet their 1st social car: the Budd-e, the company's electric version of their previous minibus from years ago.
The Budd-e is a party van for real or more so version 2.0 actually. You can open the doors via gesture waves and activate damn-near anything inside via voice control. A truly connected vehicle that can connect to your smartphones to share content, directions, and more on their 12.3inch curved touchscreen dashboard and a 34inch display in the backseat that can make use of Android Auto & CarPlay per display. You can also connect to as well as Smart Home & Internet of Things like your Nest thermostat, WeMo accessories, and such. You got a continuous LED lightstrip as a grille & LEDs everywhere else. It is powered by a 101kWh battery that will offer 233 miles per charge. It can offer up 80% of battery life in just a 30-minute charge and a top speed of 93MPH.
While the Budd-e may possibly never make it way to the production line, the technology inside will definitely seep out to VW line of vehicles in the near future.
