The Volkswagen Theta is Powered by Google
Michael Hines — July 5, 2011 — Autos
I can only hope that the automobiles of the future are half as functional as the Volkswagen Theta. The Theta was designed by Feró Tobak as a do-it-all, electricity-powered concept car that is ideal for tech-savvy city slickers.
The interior of the Volkswagen Theta is designed to incorporate all of the latest tech from Google, including Google maps, world and chauffeur. The exterior of the Theta is unique, with a front windshield that runs onto the roof and headlights that are mounted nearly on top of the vehicle, resembling eyeballs. Perhaps the coolest feature of this concept car is its ability to detach its rear unit. The detached unit can be used for quick travel around a crowded city, effectively making the Volkswagen Theta immune to traffic jams.
