If you're a baby boomer, chances are that you remember those far out times when love and peace were the words on everyone's tonge and the Volkswagen hippie van was the vehicle of choice. Well those days of nostalgia no longer have to be relegated to the distant past - Volkswagen has remade the iconic Type 2 Bus and shown it off at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Monday . It's called BUZZ ID, and it's the first driverless all-electric micro bus that features front and rear wheel drive. ID BUZZ can travel up to 372 miles on a single charge. When the van is running in self-driving mode, the front seats turn around and the steering wheel retracts, creating an interior space for up to eight people. ID BUZZ is expected to hit the market in 2020.
Volkswagen's Chief Executive believes Europe's biggest carmaker will succeed in winning back customers' trust after admitting to rigging emissions tests for millions of its cars. But as Sonia Legg reports, it didn't win this year's top car award at the Geneva International Motor Show - that honour went to Opel Vauxhall Astra.
