Volvo is a brand obsessed with safety and it believes that one of the surest ways to guarantee it is with autonomous drive technology. But testing it is challenging. That’s why the automaker wants to collect data from its owners to speed up development.
The plan will allow owners to opt in to letting Volvo collect data from their vehicles in real-time. By receiving information from real roads in real-time at a large scale, Volvo figures it will be able to speed development up significantly.
“With help from real-life data we can speed up our development processes and go from years to days,” said Ödgärd Andersson, CEO at Zenseact, Volvo Cars’ autonomous driving software arm. “As real-time collection generates a lot more data, we can create better and higher-quality data sets that allow us to make better and quicker decisions on the next advancements in safety. We’re taking a giant leap to increase safety in and around our cars.”
