NBC Universal, Inc.

It's about a year away, a new vehicle from BMW is not just a car, this is a project meant to alter the way we drive.

BMW's latest offering adds a virtual reality display to the driving experience. Itโ€™s a trip through a completely designed city, something like a video game.

Its technology being developed both in Germany and Silicon Valley.

โ€œMany partners are coming up with more and more innovative technologies. So, maybe in the future, we don't even need a headset anymore. We have heads-up displays in cars, so that could be another opportunity as well," said Cassandra Degenhart, a communication manager with BMW.

Julia Debono, the CEO of BMW Design Works gave NBC Bay Area a first look at what BMW is about to roll out, which is the "Neue Klasse," or new class. Itโ€™s an all-electric car due in 2025.
