The estimated price of the automatic driving function by Volkswagen is about 7 euros (about 930 yen) per hour, for example, if you want to leave the drive for 3 hours, you will use the function for 21 euros (about 2800 yen) I will.

Volkswagen's sales officer, Klaus Zellmer, said, 'Everyone is self-driving, not just those who buy a car for an additional five digits (millions of yen in Japanese yen). You will be able to use it. '

Volkswagen lags behind Tesla in terms of digital functions in the car, but electric vehicles 'ID.3' and ' ID.4 ' are providing on-demand updates, and 12 weeks in the future. It is planned to deliver new functions every time.

According to Mr. Zellmer, more than 50% of Volkswagen's sales in the German market are already leased vehicles, and it is expected that short-term usage demand will increase by one day or several hours in the future. Providing the automatic driving function on an hourly or daily basis is a form of provision that meets demand.

Volkswagen as a whole expects that short-term usage demand will be reduced to 20% to 30% of business by 2030.
