ZF Unveils Autonomous Electric Shuttle With 80 Mile Range | Carscoops carscoops
Simply called Next Generation Shuttle, the model features Level 4 autonomous driving technology which relies on lidar, radar, camera, and audio sensors to give the model a detailed view of its surroundings. ZF’s autonomous driving software, known as Virtual Driver, then processes all of that information to enable the vehicle to drive itself in urban environments. The company also noted there are multiple redundancies to ensure “full functionality” as well as high reliability.
On the styling front, there isn’t much to report as the model looks like a fairly traditional shuttle. That being said, it features a streamlined design with LED lighting units and expansive side glass. We can also see numerous sensors and sliding doors.ZF only provided a few glimpses of the cabin, but the model can accommodate up to 22 passengers, although only 15 will find seats.
Besides introducing the shuttle, ZF announced a strategic partnership with mobility services provider Beep. The agreement calls for several thousand shuttles to be delivered to customers in the coming years. If everything goes according to plan, public transport operators will be able to offer passengers autonomous, emission-free rides 24/7 without having to hire drivers.
