Volvo, which was an early pioneer of assisted driving systems and self-driving cars, is using over-the-air software updates combined with a state-of-the-art sensor set-up.
The software is developed by autonomous driving software company Zenseact together with Volvo’s in-house developers, as well as developers from Luminar, one of its technology partners. The sensor set-up consists of more than two-dozen sensors, including Luminar’s Iris lidar sensor, which work closely with the developed software.
While the software-sensor combination will be fitted from day one on the new electric SUV, Volvo said it will be made available to customers only once it has gone through a “rigorous verification and testing protocol”. This includes validation of the technology as safe for use on highways in a number of varying conditions.
As part of this verification process, Volvo is already testing the tech in Sweden and collecting data across Europe and the US, before testing begins in California.
