At NVIDIA GTC Berlin, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is showcasing the autonomous ID. Buzz as a flexible, industrialized 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 stationary exhibit demonstrates how the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10 reference architecture can be integrated into an autonomous ID. Buzz.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles 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 of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles 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. At GTC Berlin, NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10 demonstrates how an additional qualified high-tech approach can be integrated into this common platform.
