Volkswagen & Mobileye to Bring new Automated Driving Functions to Series Production

The Volkswagen Group has announced it's 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 the future, Mobileye is set to also provide technologies for driving functions with enhanced Level 2 capabilities ('partially automated driving') within Volkswagen.

It will also supply further technology components for automated driving to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. 

Oliver Blume, CEO of the Volkswagen Group and Porsche AG. says: "Our goal is to offer our customers throughout the world outstanding products with cutting-edge technology. 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.”

“We are proud to work closely with Volkswagen Group to make the future of driving safer, more automated and more rewarding,“ adds 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.“

Headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. VW operates globally, with 114 production facilities in 19 European countries and 10 countries in the Americas, Asia and Africa.
