A fourth-generation self-driving test vehicle from Ford and Argo AIFord and Argo AI today released details about its fourth-generation self-driving test vehicle.
Built on the 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, the vehicle has everything needed to stand up a self-driving service, the Detroit automaker said.
It's equipped with an improved battery system, new sensors and sensor-cleaning technology.
The previous three generations of test vehicles used the Ford Fusion sedan.For this latest platform, Ford upgraded the lidar sensor suite with an all-new system that sports a higher resolution 128-beam array to provide a 360-degree view.
Ford says this helps the test vehicle better detect moving objects closer to the vehicle. Near-field cameras and short-range lidar look ahead and to the vehicle's side while rear-facing sensors help with objects behind the SUV.
