At Nvidia GTC Berlin, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is showcasing the autonomous ID. Buzz as a flexible, industrialised vehicle platform that combines series production quality with the integration potential required to bring advanced high tech solutions to scalable passenger and commercial transport applications.
The company provides more than the base vehicle: it contributes series production quality, integration engineering and vehicle side validation as the robust foundation for scalable autonomous applications. The autonomous ID. Buzz combines proven vehicle engineering with the flexibility to accommodate qualified high tech autonomous driving systems and different use cases, from mobility services to commercial transport and logistics.
The vehicle displayed in Berlin is a long wheelbase autonomous ID. Buzz with a mobility as a service interior. Its Nvidia Drive AGX Hyperion 10 reference configuration comprises 14 cameras, nine radars and three lidars. The compute and sensor architecture illustrates how an advanced Level 4 technology stack can be integrated into a vehicle developed to series production standards.
The technology showcase underlines the platform strategy of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles: autonomous driving developers and operators can combine their high tech solutions with a robust, series production based vehicle instead of developing vehicle integration from the ground up. This can reduce complexity and support the scalable deployment of different passenger and commercial transport applications on a common vehicle foundation.
The ambition is to establish the autonomous ID. Buzz as the series production quality vehicle platform for scalable driverless passenger and commercial transport applications across customers and markets.
For over 75 years, the VW Bus has stood for reliability and versatility – initially in commercial use and today also in everyday family life and camping. Now in its seventh generation, the concept continues to impress: as reliable Transporter, versatile Multivan, adventurous California, or fully electric ID. Buzz. Whether as a mobile workshop, trusted service vehicle, or utility driven everyday hero – the vehicles offer space for needs and are in use worldwide for people on a mission.
