It's no pop-up camper, but it's about as close as we can get in 2017.

This is one Atlas you won't be able to buy in dealerships -- it's just a concept for the Chicago Auto Show.

That said, you can pick up most of these accessories at the VW dealership, so you can sort of get one?

The main exterior addition is the cargo box atop the vehicle, which expands to hold nearly 18 cubic feet of cargo.

The exterior also features splashguards and special 18-inch wheels.

Inside, there's a universal tablet mount, which is a better option than throwing a bunch of money at an expensive in-car entertainment add-on.

A cargo divider behind the second row makes an excellent pet divider.

Additional storage solutions allow you to keep round or small objects in one place.

Sadly, I don't think these tires will be available, but there's nothing stopping you from making a trip to your local tire shop.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
