Volkswagen is set to debut its new Proactive Safety System, designed to protect drivers, passengers, and pedestrians, with features like an Active Hood and a system that autonomously pulls over if the driver becomes incapacitated. The upcoming electric VW Golf, launching in 2029, will be the first model to utilize technology from a new joint venture with Rivian, aimed at creating a software-defined vehicle platform. This partnership marks a significant shift for Volkswagen as it seeks to address its software challenges and modernize its vehicle offerings.
