The first self-driving prototypes based on the future Volkswagen ID. BUZZ
production electric vehicle will begin testing in Munich, Germany, this
summer. It marks a milestone for Volkswagen Group and its Volkswagen
Commercial Vehicles brand (VWCV), which plans to implement Level 4-capable
autonomous driving technology for self-driving vans. Light commercial
vehicles are the first, logical place for deploying autonomous transportation
of people and goods.

Our aim with the self-driving version of the ID. BUZZ is to facilitate
commercial deployment of transport and delivery services starting in 2025. In
select cities, customers will be able to have a self-driving vehicle take
them to their destination. The delivery of goods and packages will also be
made much easier through our autonomous driving service.
—Christian Senger, divisional director at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles
To integrate the autonomous technology into the all-electric ID. BUZZ AD, the
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand has founded a dedicated business unit
and partnered with Argo AI, the US-headquartered autonomous vehicle
technology platform company developing the self-driving system. Earlier this
year, Argo AI integrated its self-driving system with a Volkswagen vehicle
prototype to begin testing in Germany.
We believe Argo AI has the largest urban self-driving testing footprint,
with operations in six cities in the United States. We are excited to begin
testing our self-driving system on European roads later this year, building
on the initial work we’re doing now at a new test track we established next
to the Munich airport.
—Bryan Salesky, Founder and CEO, Argo AI
Both Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Argo AI regard the use of a
combination of sensors—including lidar, radar and cameras—as essential for
safe autonomous driving capability. Argo AI recently unveiled its new lidar
sensor, Argo Lidar, which allows it to see objects from 400 meters (437
yards) away.

Argo AI’s proprietary Geiger-mode lidar has the ability to detect a single
photon—key to sensing objects with low reflectivity.
This technology will be integrated in the self-driving system of
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ autonomous driving vehicles.
—Bryan Salesky
There are also concrete plans for the commercial use of the future technology
for transport service providers. Volkswagen Group subsidiary MOIA will in
2025 become the first user of the self-driving ID. BUZZ AD. MOIA is the
largest sharing provider in Hamburg, Germany, and currently employs 1200
people.

首款将今夏德国部分城市上路测试的是 VW 第一台商用电动车 ID.Buzz
关键注目点是Argo AI的系统与Argo Lidar
这是目前公布的车用光达里 旋转式的 最远的可侦测距离
达到了400m
Argo AI 有两大投资者是VAG跟Ford
双福加持XD 修得痛快(误
两大集团加起来的市场占有率相当大
以后VAG跟Ford的自动驾驶系统很可能都是这套
旋转式的光达的造型并不适合在多数车上
这可能还有改进的空间

比起其他家的光达的成像图看起来是较清晰
据称用"盖格模式"并使用1400nm以上的波长
特色是更远的距离 更高的精度 在外界亮度变化下更快反应
