Kloke ord fra VW CEO, Herbert Diess:
Diess remarked that Lidar, or more specifically redundant perception, was integral to getting to Level 3 autonomy, saying:
Lidar technology is still expensive, but today the only way to offer redundant perception to the 360 camera systems which are a must. Safety is really crucial in autonomous driving. For level 3 driving you need redundant perception.
Later on he clarified that Level 3 autonomy "requires" redundant Lidar perception. Volkswagen has partnered with MobileEye for its Lidar systems, which have been dropping in price.
Yes, definitely level 3 requires redundant Lidar perception.
As for the when, Diess was a little less specific than Tesla's "this year" timespan.
Autonomous driving is the biggest gamechanger for the automotive industry. we will be able to drive our customers safe and comfortably. This will be a gradual process from taking over responsibility on open highways in good weather conditions getting to more complex environments and weather situations worldwide. So this will be a long process of competition for a long period to come. We are building up competencies to become a serious competitor in this race.
