Overview
- Rewe has begun real-world trials using a highly automated VW ID. Buzz to support its delivery service in the Ruhr city.
- Loxo provides and operates the Digital Driver software stack, with local backing from Bochum Wirtschaftsentwicklung.
- The vehicle is Level-4 capable on defined routes, yet a safety person will remain in the cockpit throughout the pilot.
- Routes are manually planned through Rewe’s e-commerce systems, customers order as usual, and the safety driver completes the doorstep handoff.
- The pilot will collect key metrics on capacity, achievable autonomy levels, and cost signals to inform potential scaling.
