- Volkswagen and Mobileye bring new automated driving
functions to series production
- Mobileye provides technologies based on the Mobileye
SuperVision™ and Mobileye Chauffeur™ platforms
- Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini and Porsche will use these series
developments to rapidly bring new, premium-oriented driving
functions to their model portfolios
- Mobileye set to supply further technology components for
autonomous driving to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles
The Volkswagen Group is welcoming further strategic
collaboration and significantly accelerating its development
efforts in the field of automated and autonomous driving. Now,
Volkswagen is intensifying its partnership with Mobileye in the
domain of automated driving. Together, the two companies will bring
new automated driving functions to series production. Mobileye is
to provide technologies for partially and highly automated driving
based on its Mobileye SuperVision and Mobileye Chauffeur platforms.
In future, the Volkswagen Group’s Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini and
Porsche brands will use these technologies to rapidly introduce new
premium-oriented driving functions to their model portfolios across
powertrain types. These include advanced assistance systems for
highway and urban driving, such as automated overtaking on
multilane highways in permitted areas and conditions, as well as
automatic stopping at red lights and stop signs, and support in
intersections and roundabouts. In addition, Mobileye is set to
supply further technology components for automated driving to
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. In the long term, the Volkswagen
Group aims to rely on its own complete in-house system:
Partnerships with Bosch and Qualcomm, as well as with Horizon
Robotics in China, will be continued with a focus. All driver
assistance systems are to be based on the software architectures
developed by Volkswagen’s Cariad company.

“Our goal is to offer our customers throughout the world
outstanding products with cutting-edge technology,” says Oliver
Blume, CEO of the Volkswagen Group and Porsche AG. "New automated
driving functions will significantly boost convenience and safety.
These functions, which will be tailored to our brands and products,
will make every trip a personal, individual experience. In
Mobileye, we have an additional first-class partner to shape this
automotive future together.”
The Volkswagen Group and Mobileye have been collaborating on
advanced driver assistance systems for some time. In the future,
Mobileye is set to also provide technologies for driving functions
with enhanced Level 2 capabilities ('partially automated driving')
within the Volkswagen Group. When such functions will be available,
and subject to its operational design domain, drivers will be
allowed to take their hands off the steering wheel but must remain
attentive to the traffic and ready to intervene at any time. In
addition, Volkswagen is working with Mobileye on Level 3 functions
('highly automated driving'). At this level, the vehicle will be
able to temporarily take over driving tasks in specified areas;
drivers are not required to monitor the system continuously.
Volkswagen and Mobileye are jointly developing these technologies
into cross-brand systems.
In addition, Mobileye will also offer certain production-ready
functions for the new E3 1.2 premium-oriented software
architecture. This new architecture is managed by Cariad and will
be gradually implemented within the group by Audi, Bentley,
Lamborghini, and Porsche. As part of their product strategy, the
brands decide on the specific deployment of the systems and tailor
them to a brand-specific driving experience.
Furthermore, the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand is set to
be supplied by Mobileye with software and hardware to achieve Level
4 ("fully automated driving"). Volkswagen ADMT, a Volkswagen Group
subsidiary, will implement these components in fully electric
development platforms based on the Volkswagen ID. Buzz. The goal of
Volkswagen ADMT is to bring self-driving ID. Buzz vehicles to
series production for mobility and transportation services.
“We are proud to work closely with Volkswagen Group to make the
future of driving safer, more automated and more rewarding,“ says
Prof. Amnon Shashua, President and CEO of Mobileye. “Through these
programs, we see Volkswagen Group leading the industry in putting
AI-powered advanced driver assistance technology in the hands of
consumers globally and developing new services with autonomous
vehicles.“
Volkswagen Group sharpens its development strategy for driver
assistance systems
Volkswagen is further clarifying the division of development
tasks for driver assistance systems between in-house innovation and
collaboration for its new E3 1.2 and E3 2.0 software architectures.
This will streamline processes and reduce complexity. With
strategic partners such as Mobileye, Volkswagen Group is
accelerating the rapid delivery of the premium-oriented E3 1.2
architecture, while, in the long term, the Group will rely on its
own complete in-house (‘stack’) for automated driving across all
brands.
For the future E3 2.0 architecture, the Volkswagen Group plans
to forge ahead and consolidate its resources and development
responsibilities within Cariad, its software company. Together with
Bosch, Cariad aims to develop the Group's proprietary complete
system. This system will be integrated into the future
all-electric, fully digital, and highly scalable mechatronics Group
platform, the Scalable Systems Platform (SSP)
“We are sharpening our development strategy for driver
assistance systems at the same time as heightening our customer
focus. We are concentrating on fast, reliable delivery,” says
Michael Steiner, Head of Research and Development of the Volkswagen
Group and Member of the Executive Board, Research and Development
of Porsche AG.
