Gee, Uncle May, it sure pays to own a Volkswagen ,

You're really a driver or a passenger to use a Volkswagen phrase.

Last year, Volkswagen announced that by next year they'll be producing this carbon fiber plugin hybrid getting 230 miles a gallon.

So that gives you an idea of the kinds of migrations and the speed with which this is just the taxis being built by Volkswagen.

We modified a Volkswagen Toureg to put all kinds of sensors onto the roof and actuators into the car that could actuate the steering wheel, the gas pedal, and the brake.

The vehicle was based on a Volkswagen Touareg that was equipped with all kinds of sensors like GPS and laser, and it was able to make its own decisions without any human input whatsoever.

We've also worked with Volkswagen Oracle, on Shelley, an autonomous race car that has raced at 150 miles an hour through the Bonneville Salt Flats, gone around Thunderhill Raceway Park in the sun, the wind and the rain, and navigated the 153 turns and 12.4 miles of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb route in Colorado with nobody at the wheel.
