The rise of the autonomous car brings to mind a number of questions regarding what drivers will be doing when inside vehicles, so the [Volkswagen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-id-life) 'Zimmer' is an autonomous concept car that imagines the possibilities.

Designed by Hanchi Yun, the Volkswagen 'Zimmer' is first and foremost a form of autonomous transportation. The interior space is capable of being customized into a number of different orientations in order to suit different needs. Passengers can partake in some [digital entertainment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atari-and-airconsole), sit and enjoy a meal and much more thanks to the expansive space within the autonomous concept car.

The Volkswagen 'Zimmer' identifies a direction that we could see passenger vehicles go once autonomous technologies begin to be rolled out on a more widespread scale.
