Volkswagen's People's Car Project in China offers three concepts, including a hovering EV
Last year, Volkswagen
commenced its People's Car Project in China to create crowdsourced
concepts of the VW of the future. More than 33 million people visited
the site, and three concepts were created from the inputs: the Music
Car, the Hover Car and the Smart Key.
The Music Car is a Beetle wrapped in LEDs that change colors to match the driver's choice of music. The Hover Car is a zero-emissions two-seater that, no surprise, hovers over electromagnetic road networks. The Smart Key is Big Brother for your car, for your pocket: the hig-def touchscreen on the nine millimeter key can track the status of your car and keep an eye on it via "satellite transmission."
The project is continuing, so you can still post your thoughts to VW's future. In the meantime there's a video and a couple of press releases after the jump for more on the story.
