The newest ID Buzz bus concept from Volkswagen will surely make people especially its fans nostalgic. It is a blend of 60's campervan model with the twist of the modern times. Remember the groovy OG hippie van from the 60's? Yes its almost the same, its even better.

As reported by CNET, the German firm Volkswagen recently unveiled at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show its plan to release the Microbus with a fully autonomous feature where the driver can turn around and interact with the passengers, face to face. It was also mentioned that similar to the previous ID concept, the ID Buzz is an all powered electric train with 201 hp.  It holds up to 8 passengers with 2 compartments to haul their luggage. The seats allow them to choose how far apart it should be to give better room while travelling. In front, is a screen where it displays all of its controls.

The ID Buzz s an all-electric minivan that can accelerate up to 99 mph with a 373-mile range with just a single charge, according to Business Insider. What's more is it doesn't emit harmful fumes which make it environment-friendly and supports green-living.

It's a totally new and futuristic concept because passengers can enjoy the trip as it also has entertainment features. Part of the program is creating a personal profile in order to identify the owner's personalized preference such as the music, temperature controls and even contact information of family and friends. This information is synced to the Volkswagen's cloud network and can be used or uploaded to other cars if the owner will be replacing it.

This new ID Buzz concept is said to be produced by 2019 and should be released by 2022. Fans of Volkswagen should patiently wait for at least 5 years before they can enjoy this futuristic vehicle.
