Volkswagen imagines a future in which in the cities & agrave; there will be many autonomous shuttles that will take people around. The German manufacturer & egrave; among the protagonists of the ITS World Congress in Hamburg 2021 where he reiterated his strategy for mobility; of cities . As we know, together with MOIA and ARGO AI, it is testing an autonomous ridesharing service based on the new electric van ID.Buzz. However, the possibilities of use of this self-driving vehicle go far beyond simply transporting people. On the occasion of the event, the German manufacturer released a short video showing how mobility could evolve; city and how its ID Buzz could be used.
Various & quot; concepts & quot; appear within the video. based on the van. The most interesting & egrave; probably the one that sees the ID.Buzz transformed into an & # 39; autonomous ambulance . The driver is not obviously present and all the space on board is; used to manage the sick and medical equipment. Unfortunately no vehicle specific details were shared.
In addition to the ambulance, Volkswagen shows in the film other ways in which mobility could change in the future; thanks to its self-driving ID.Buzz. The electric van is also used as a taxi, as a delivery van and as a sort of mobile office . The German brand makes it known that the interiors of the shuttles (mats and door linings, for example) were designed to be made mainly through the use of recycled materials .
The designers of the German brand have emphasized that their work will be; to analyze the needs of people and study different use cases, to define the environments of the new vehicles. The future of mobility for Volkswagen it therefore passes through the use of these self-driving shuttles. The development plans of the ridesharing project foresee the launch in some cities; Germany, including Hamburg, starting in 2025.
Sar & agrave; therefore very interesting to follow the development of this project. The ID.Buzz should debut, in the series version, next year. For the moment, there are no precise technical specifications even if it should be proposed with different levels of autonomy. The electric van should be marketed for both passenger use and as a commercial vehicle.
