Control your car with a gesture.

So you'll be able to control many of your car's features without using buttons or switches, thanks to Gesture Control. Geature Control is not new territory for Volkswagen. Our Golf R Touch vehicle study shown at the Consumer Electronics Show 2015 in Las Vegas demonstrated the way in which we aim to revolutionize the operation of vehicles in every segment. Our future cockpit can differentiate between different hand gestures and interpret them accurately. Gesture Control will be available in many of our model series in future.

Gesture Control allows you to do things like opening and closing your sunroof simply by sweeping your upturned palm in the required direction. Seats can also be adjusted conveniently by gesture. This technology already works simply and safely today in a way which does not permit commands to be interpreted wrongly. Gesture Control will soon be available in many of our series so that you will be able to control the model you prefer even more intuitively and naturally.
