CTOnews.com, September 23 (Xinhua)-- Volkswagen Group will present an innovative design study named GEN.TRAVEL on September 24 to redefine long-distance traffic in the future.

CTOnews.com learned that the Volkswagen GEN.TRAVEL is a pure electric prototype with L5 self-driving. The interior of the car has a modular design and officials say it can replace short-haul flights in the future. As a research vehicle, the purpose of Gen.Travel is to test users' reactions to concepts and new features. According to the research results, individual functions may be added to mass production models in the future.

According to officials, the GEN.TRAVEL is a whole new category of vehicles between cars and MPV, and autopilot turns the driver into an easy passenger who has time to do other things. GEN.TRAVEL has a unique, modular internal concept that can be customized for each trip and booked as a mobile as a service product. Depending on the configuration, the concept car can carry up to four people. For business travel, the meeting setup has four comfortable seats and a large table in the middle of the interior, providing a relaxing environment. Dynamic lighting creates a pleasant working environment and avoids the danger of carsickness. A configuration in the "overnight setting" allows two seats to be converted into two beds that can be folded to a full flat.

The new restraint system ensures the safety of passengers, even while lying down. The GEN.TRAVEL lighting system can affect melatonin production and help passengers fall asleep and wake up naturally. For family travel, the GEN.TRAVEL with front seats can provide augmented reality (AR) entertainment. All HMI (man-machine interface) elements are produced using sustainable materials, combined with recycled or natural materials.

The futuristic appearance of the GEN.TRAVEL is divided into two parts, the transparent glass cockpit fits perfectly into the lower part, and the windows are very low to maximize the external view. At the same time, when passengers lie flat in the car, they will not be affected by any external influence. GEN.TRAVEL 's gull wing door facilitates better entry and exit.

For maximum comfort, GEN.TRAVEL 's active suspension eABC (Electric active body Control) calculates vertical and lateral movements, such as acceleration, braking or turning, in advance, and optimizes driving mode and trajectory accordingly.
