Connected Community
In future, Volkswagen will connect people, cars and their surroundings more strongly than ever before. New models such as the Polo, T-Roc, Arteon and Touareg are the best examples of this approach: drivers and guests on board these vehicles are always online whenever they want to be. Volkswagen Car-Net adds a variety of online services to smart phone integration interfaces like App-Connect (with MirrorLinkÒ, Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay™). This includes online traffic news as well as information on filling stations and car parks.

Show visitors can fully experience the innovative functions of the Volkswagen Ecosystem live. In addition, the company is presenting the next milestones of intuitive user operation with its Volkswagen Digital Cockpit (3D), Eyetracking and AR Head-up Display.
