If the radio in your VW has the word “SAFE” on it, there’s a chance we might be able to help you out.

Volkswagen is upgrading its infotainment and safety systems across the board for the 2016 model year. Despite being closely related to Audi, a corporate sibling often regarded as being quite savvy in realms of tech, the parent company has denied the entry level brand of similar whiz-bang features in the past. That's not the case any more, as VW aims seeks to differentiate itself from the competition by taking the fight to the technology front.

More than a year after Volkswagen's use of illegal "defeat device" software in diesel cars came to light, the company is close to achieving a settlement with regulators and customers for the majority of affected cars.

IT’S JUST ABOUT judgement day for Volkswagen, which has admitted rigging its diesels to spew more pollution than the law allows. Tuesday, US District Judge Charles Breyer will decide whether to approve the $15 billion settlement VW struck with the Department of Justice. But some worry the agreement could harm the electric carindustry it is meant to promote.

Volkswagen will spend more than $15 billion to settle consumer lawsuits and government allegations that it cheated on emissions tests in what lawyers are calling the largest auto-related class-action settlement in U.S. history.

IN 2013, WHEN University of Birmingham computer scientist Flavio Garcia and a team of researchers were preparing to reveal a vulnerability that allowed them to start the ignition of millions of Volkswagen cars and drive them off without a key, they were hit with a lawsuit that delayed the publication of their research for two years.

Volkswagen is hyping up the electric concept car it's unveiling at the Paris Motor Show that kicks off October 1. The German automaker said in a brief press release that "the concept car has the potential to make history with its completely new vehicle concept," adding that it's "as revolutionary as the Beetle."

German prosecutors will grant Volkswagen no mitigation for a record vehicle emissions settlement it faces in the United States and want VW to pay them a separate fine, a spokesman said.
