The interior becomes a living space. The interior of the new ID. CODE is a highly variable lounge with online connectivity. Its equipment makes travelling more entertaining and comfortable than ever before. The highest-quality, environmentally friendly and animal-free materials as well as high-end sound, background lighting and air conditioning systems make for travel comfort like in a private jet. The infotainment landscape and the world of operation have been completely redesigned. The avatar familiar from the exterior accompanies the driver and passengers in the interior; the window surfaces become the digital stage of the avatar and other displays. The comfortable seats can be adapted to the respective driving mode. The steering wheel retracts into the cockpit during Level 4 autonomous driving. This creates additional space to rotate the front seats by 180 degrees so that passengers can sit opposite each other. It is also possible to move the seats to a sleeping position for longer journeys. Another innovative detail is the centre console. It is integrated on a rail so that it can be moved; the console also contains a refrigerator. The drink holder in the centre console has a dual function. In the lower position, it is a conventional drink holder; if it is pushed upwards in the console, it becomes an elegant lamp. The interior of the ID. CODE thus becomes a mobile living space.
New display landscape. The displays not only use the conventional positions in the cockpit (augmented-reality head-up display) and in the centre console, but also – as all-round Smart Windows – the side windows and the front passenger side of the windscreen. Depending on the mode and display, the AI-assisted avatar can be shown here in order to use its services. Realistic 3D scenarios are displayed in a completely newly developed Wide-R screen, which covers the entire inside width of the ID. CODE and extends into the doors. Widgets in the side windows can be used to display information such as the weather forecast, battery status, navigation map, navigation instructions or the media library. The functions are controlled via touch panels, voice and gesture control.
Multi-variable seats. With their exceptionally good ergonomics and design, the four individual seats of the ID. CODE are more like first-class seats in commercial aircraft than ordinary car seats. They can be rotated, variably adjusted and adapted to the respective travel mode. The seats can also be swivelled outwards to make it easier to enter and leave the vehicle.
Self-driving mode. If the ID. CODE is driven actively, the driver seat is adjusted precisely for this. The multi-function steering wheel is thus in an ideal ergonomic position. The driver is supported by the AI-assisted avatar. The conventional infotainment system cockpit is no longer present in the ID. CODE. Instead, visual information is shown to the driver by means of the augmented-reality head-up display. As this information is projected virtually in front of the windscreen or into the traffic situation thanks to augmented reality, the driver can fully concentrate on driving. Passengers can adjust their seats, air conditioning, sound, infotainment and light settings individually. While the front passenger may have adjusted the seat to a sleeping position and dimmed the light, passengers in the rear may be reading a book in perfect light while in an upright sitting position or listening to the latest online news.
Autonomous mode. If the ID. CODE is driving in Level 4 mode, the situation on board changes completely if required. In this mode, the steering wheel elegantly disappears into the dash panel; this creates space and enhances the living room character. The seats can now be rotated into Family mode, for example. In this case, the front seats are rotated 180 degrees to the rear – the front and rear passengers are now seated opposite each other.
Hygiene mode. If no one is on board the ID. CODE, the time can be used to put the car into Hygiene mode. The air in the car is cleaned by UV light, a robot vacuum cleaner (LUPO) and the antibacterial air filters. This mode is particularly helpful after a long trip with the children and is especially beneficial if the spacious ID. CODE is used as a shuttle.
