Euro NCAP grades Volkswagen's Travel Assist Good on the ID.7

Euro NCAP graded Travel Assist on the Volkswagen ID.7 Good on 23 October 2024, with 80% for safety backup. The car sensed hands on the wheel robustly and detected drowsiness.

  • Not rated a person

    Euro NCAP measured the system in its tests, and no crash outcome for drivers or passengers is reported.

Depth runs from 1, a convenience or time saved, to 5, a life or a livelihood preserved.

An independent assessment report supports the benefit.

The system’s part
Not isolated. Euro NCAP tested the car with Travel Assist switched on, so the scores reflect the system's own responses. There was no run without the system for comparison. Euro NCAP mentions real time camera inputs and a radar but does not describe AI or show that the system learns from data.

    Euro NCAP. Volkswagen ID.7 2024 Assisted Driving grading: Good (Travel Assist). Published 23 October 2024.

    The ID.7 from Vokswagen provides good Vehicle Assistance with a similar level of Driver Engagement. Combined with a high level of safety back-up, the system, overall, offers Good highway assistance.
    The sensing of hands on the steering wheel was robust, and the system detects driver drowsiness.

Details

AI system

Workflow

The system combined map-based speed limit information with real time camera inputs. It adapted its speed for curves and junctions ahead. It sensed the driver's hands on the wheel and detected drowsiness.

Follow-up

Conditions for replication

The radar and camera are clear, since the car warns and prevents activation if either is blocked. The driver steers through bends at higher speeds, since the car stayed fully in its lane through the S-bend only at the two lowest test speeds.

Entry details

Sector

Road vehicle crash avoidance / assisted driving.

Purpose

Volkswagen built Travel Assist to help the driver with speed, following distance, steering and lane changes.
