Volkswagen reveals self-driving rival to Tesla Cybercab

Tesla revolutionised semi-autonomous driving technology with its so-called Full Self-Driving system, a more advanced version of which will soon end up in its fleet of Cybercab robotaxis in the US. Volkswagen has announced it’s currently in the next stage of testing its Gen. Urban self-driving research vehicle, having previously quietly rolled the car out for “intensive trials”. Now capable of driving itself on the streets of Wolfsburg where Volkswagen is headquartered, Gen.Urban remains the centre of a research project for now, however the German car giant is aiming to “explore how passengers experience riding in a self-driving vehicle without a traditional steering wheel or pedals”.
