Volkswagen Group has announced plans to begin gathering driving data from new vehicles starting next year, as part of its broader strategy to advance autonomous driving technology. This move aims to enhance the development of self-driving systems by collecting real-world information from a wide range of models, including Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Volkswagen, Skoda, and Seat.
With the consent of vehicle owners, the data will be collected through in-car cameras and other sensors. The company believes that its massive global sales volume—reaching 6.8 million units worldwide by August—gives it a competitive edge in accessing high-quality, real-time driving data. This data will help refine autonomous systems and improve safety features over time.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show, Ulrich Eichorn, Volkswagen’s R&D Director, highlighted the potential of their navigation systems, stating, “We can map Europe in just five hours with the car’s sat nav.†This reflects the company’s commitment to leveraging advanced technology for future mobility solutions.
Like Tesla, which collects data in the background using Autopilot, Volkswagen will gather driving information passively. This data will eventually be stored in the Pegasus database, a comprehensive repository of real-world driving scenarios around the globe. By analyzing this data, Volkswagen can simulate various situations and improve its autonomous systems without waiting for real accidents to occur.
This proactive approach allows the company to test and refine its technology continuously. As part of its 2025 business strategy, Volkswagen is heavily investing in artificial intelligence and autonomous driving. CEO Herbert Diess emphasized at the Frankfurt Motor Show that the group plans to launch fully autonomous L5-class electric vehicles, including cars and trucks, by 2021.
The Audi Aicon, Volkswagen’s first L5-class autonomous concept car, made its debut at the event. Additionally, Audi announced that the upcoming A8 model will feature L3-level autonomous driving capabilities, allowing it to drive autonomously at speeds up to 60 km/h across multiple lanes. This marks a significant step forward in the journey toward full autonomy.
