Volvo To Launch Unsupervised Autonomous Tech On New Flagship Electric SUV In California | Carscoops carscoops
Volvo today announced that it will be introducing “Ride Pilot,” its unsupervised autonomous driving feature in California first., once it has been verified as safe for use on highways. The automaker believes it will be ready to begin testing Ride Pilot in California by the middle of 2022 and has previously tested autonomous functions in Sweden.
“We are proud to announce the planned US launch of our first truly unsupervised autonomous driving feature, as we look to set a new industry standard for autonomy without compromising safety,” said Mats Moberg, head of research and development at Volvo Cars. “Having Zenseact’s brand new AD software and Luminar’s LiDAR standard in our new fully electric SUV is a game-changer for Volvo Cars, as well as for automotive safety and autonomous driving.
Ride Pilot will also benefit from over-the-air software updates to allow for redundancies and make it safer., the name Ride Pilot was chosen to imply what the driver can expect from it. “When the car is driving on its own, Volvo Cars takes responsibility for the driving, offering the driver comfort and peace of mind.” That means that operators will be able to read, write, work, or socialize while Ride Pilot is active.
Much like other driver-assist systems, Ride Pilot will be available as an add-on subscription. As mentioned above, it will first be offered on Volvo’s upcoming flagship electric SUV, which is slated to be unveiled later this year.
