Giving the driver a break. Activating the fully automatic 'I.D. Pilot' mode is incredibly simple: as outlined above, all the driver has to do is deliberately touch the VW logo on the steering wheel for three seconds and the I.D. CROZZ assumes control. The dynamic interior ambient lighting then switches from a white light ('Drive') that aids concentration to a warm, relaxed 'magenta/violet'. At the same time, the distribution of ambient lighting is extended to the rear seating area.
Four laser scanners on the roof. By this point, the CUV has long since activated its laser scanners. Four of them emerge from the roof in 'I.D. Pilot' mode. The cleanly styled roof sensors call attention to the fully autonomous mode by indirect lighting. The I.D. CROZZ is able to detect other road users not only by means of its laser sensors, but also with the help of ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors, side area view cameras and a front camera.
Activating manual driving. Fully autonomous mode is deactivated by touching the Volkswagen logo on the steering wheel or by pressing the brake or accelerator pedal.
