Volkswagen, Valeo, and Mobileye are jointly developing assistance systems for models based on the MQB platform, as announced by Volkswagen. The driver assistance systems in the vehicles are expected to reach Level 2+, which includes an enhanced "assisted mode." "By jointly procuring hardware and software, we streamline purchasing processes, reduce complexity, and improve efficiency," says Dirk Große-Loheide, the purchasing board member for the VW Group. He also sees competitive costs for the further development of the technology.The system is designed to enable hands-free driving under certain conditions on approved highway sections. Additionally, it will include features such as a traffic jam assistant, hazard detection, parking assistance, driver monitoring, and a 360-degree emergency assistant. Augmented-reality displays are also planned.

Central Control Unit for All Assistance Functions

According to Volkswagen, the new system features a 360-degree ring of multiple cameras and radar sensors along with software-controlled functions. Valeo will supply control units, sensors, and parking systems for this partnership. Mobileye is providing its "Surround ADAS" platform, including the "EyeQ 6 High Processor" and mapping technology. The companies aim to integrate the components into a single system. A central control unit will then replace multiple individual control units.
