Not Cedric, Sedric… The Volkswagen Group has taken us from the Beetle to the Golf and it soon might take us somewhere very, very boring with the new Sedric concept car.

The pod-like high-tech vision of future mobility doesn't even have a steering wheel, thanks to its Level 5 autonomous driving systems, and is the strongest statement yet from Volkswagen's 'Together Strategy 2025' program.

The Sedric is crammed full of the thinking Volkswagen believes it will need to transform itself from an engineering-driven car company today into an across-the-board integrated mobility services organization.

Shown at a limited-access media presentation last night prior to the Geneva motor show, the Sedric is a development prototype of a different kind for the Volkswagen Group.
