Mobileye and partner Ecarx Holdings Inc. are collaborating on a one-box solution integrating automated driving and parking features, which will enable hands-off and eyes-off self-driving on controlled-access highways.
The product is based on Mobileye’s Chauffeur consumer AV platform. The new solution will be mass produced in the Polestar 4 electric SUV coupe.
Mobileye’s technology is integrated into motorhome chassis from suppliers such as Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp. and Spartan RV Chassis. The system provides lane departure warnings, forward collision warnings and pedestrian/cyclist alerts.
Mobileye’s Chauffeur adds a layer of active radar and lidar sensor to Mobileye’s computer vision perception to create two subsystems working in parallel to ensure redundancy. Chauffer feeds into a proprietary driving policy system, customizable by OEMs, to create a brand-aligned driving experience.
Polestar 4 is expected to become the world’s first mass-produced car to adopt Mobileye’s Chauffeur consumer AV technology. At launch, Chauffeur will offer hands-off and eyes-off, point-to-point autonomous highway driving, as well as eyes-on automated driving for other environments.
Mobileye President and CEO Amnon Shashua said: “We look forward to bringing Chauffeur into production through this collaboration with Ecarx. China leads the world in putting advanced driving technology on the road, and through Chauffeur, we can demonstrate the real potential for safe, affordable autonomous driving for consumers.”
