Volkswagen sees the cooperation as an important component: "This partnership supports us on our path of transformation: By jointly sourcing hardware and software, we streamline procurement, reduce complexity, and increase efficiency," explains Dirk Große-Loheide, member of the Volkswagen brand board for procurement and member of the extended corporate executive committee, emphasizing: "At the same time, we promote our performance program by improving technology while keeping costs competitive to offer our customers high-quality solutions."

Hand-off operation

The system enables hands-off operation according to corresponding regulations on approved highway sections. It features a 360-degree sensor ring consisting of multiple cameras and radar devices, as well as software-defined functions.

Additionally, the system will offer features such as traffic jam assist, hazard detection, parking assistance, driver monitoring, and a 360-degree emergency assist. It is also designed for the integration of future functions such as augmented reality displays.

Services of the partners

Valeo provides control units, sensors, and parking solutions, while Mobileye contributes its Surround ADAS platform, including the EyeQ6 high processor and mapping technology. These technologies are integrated into a system that replaces multiple control units with a central unit. This increases efficiency and system performance and enables over-the-air updates to meet future safety standards. (se)
