VW recently showed off the capability of its ID Buzz self-driving prototype equipped with technology from Argo AI, when the vehicle recently drove around Munich autonomously. One of the passengers was Volkswagen Group CEO Herbert Diess who was impressed by the ID Buzz AD’s smoothness and ability to not only travel on a given route, but also to react in unexpected situations, especially those involving pedestrians.
The vehicle had a safety driver at the wheel, and in the back Diess was joined by Alex Haag, the managing director of Argo AI in Munich. With six Lidar sensors, eleven radars and fourteen cameras all around the Buzz feeding data into the Argo AI software, it seems to do a good job of navigating around Munich.
