Volkswagen BUDD-e Concept Car

With much anticipation from car enthusiasts, Volkswagen recently unveiled its latest concept in innovative and electric mobility. It’s called BUDD-e and it pays homage to where the brand has been as well as shows where it would like to go.

With such a long list of extremely incredible features, it’s hard to say what was the most impressive. Although, one of the most innovative features wasn’t the 373-mile all-electric range, but rather the mobile interface that enables the vehicle to be more connected than ever to the world around it.

The exterior design only continues to impress with a “Nevada White” and “Phoenix Copper” paint scheme that catches the eye as soon as it comes into view. The interior gets even more impressive with touchscreen displays throughout the car that connect drivers or passengers to things like their tablets or even homes. The system is also equipped with additional voice and gesture controls. Saying “Hello BUDD-e” initiates the voice control system and recognized commands such as “turn the heat up a bit, please”. What’s more is, BUDD-e can even recognize where in the vehicle the command is coming from and cater to the specific area of the car.

VW described the system by saying “With BUDD-e, passengers will be able to access their homes and workplaces to perform tasks such as controlling the air conditioning, turning lights on or off, or simply looking to see if their kids are home yet.” VW also plans to make things even easier by one day, creating a system where owners won’t even have to turn on their lights at home, but instead BUDD-e will do it automatically as the vehicle approaches the home.

Although BUDD-e is only a concept, for now, we look forward to seeing it progress in the future and we hope to see it head for production sometime in the near future.
