¡¤ Mobileye, Volkswagen, Ford, and Krypton jointly announced a new cooperation plan around Mobileye's maps, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle technologies at CES in 2022.
¡¤ With Travel Assist 2.5, the Volkswagen Group will use Mobileye's crowdsourcing map technology to improve the comfort of ADAS functions including lane keeping/centering in Volkswagen, Skoda and Seat brand cars.
¡¤ The long-term partnership between Mobileye and Ford will be further deepened into a strategic cooperation. Mobielye's road information management (REM™) map technology will be added to the future version of Ford's BlueCruise system and provide L2+ ADAS solutions for multiple brands and models.
¡¤ Mobileye and Geely Holding Group's global high-end electric mobility technology brand Jikr jointly announced that they plan to provide consumers with a self-driving electric vehicle powered by Mobileye Drive™ as early as 2024.
Mobileye, Volkswagen Group, Ford, and JKR today jointly announced a number of newest strategic collaborations to enhance the global driver and passenger experience. These collaborations demonstrate Mobileye's extensive technological innovation capabilities in the fields from ADAS to autonomous vehicles (AV). Mobileye also demonstrated the first autonomous car integrated chip specially designed for L4 autonomous vehicles-EyeQ Ultra.
Professor Amnon Shashua, President and CEO of Mobileye, said: "Our customers believe that innovation is the core of their future strategy and are relying on Mobileye to realize their vision. As a trusted partner, Mobileye is going all out to provide more than customers Expected scalable'from ADAS to AV' solutions, and continue to push the industry forward. We thank our customers for choosing to continue to cooperate with us, and look forward to us being able to jointly develop more new industry standards."
The newly announced cooperation and plans include:
Mobileye's first ADAS "cluster data" application: Volkswagen Group is the world's first automaker to use Mobileye map data to improve the comfort and safety of ADAS functions. Mobileye RoadBook™ is a crowdsourced cloud database with high-precision and high-resolution maps. Cluster data can be collected by cars equipped with Mobileye chips around the world. Currently, the Volkswagen Group is using these data to improve the driver experience of the Travel Assist 2.5 system. For example, on certain road sections, the vehicle can provide lane keeping assistance in areas where there are no obvious lane markings. Mobileye's proprietary road information management (REM™) technology can automatically aggregate and generate self-driving car maps in the cloud, providing a truly global and scalable map solution for self-driving cars. Volkswagen, Skoda and Seat electric vehicles based on the Volkswagen MEB platform will soon launch the Travel Assist function equipped with RoadBook™.
Professor Shashua and Dr. Herbert Diess, Chairman of Volkswagen Group, recently tested an ID.4 car equipped with a new Travel Assist function developed based on Mobileye technology in Munich. During the test drive, Dr. Diess observed several advantages of the advanced functions provided by the Road Network Information Management (REM™) technology. He said: "The use of real driving data instead of maps is an obvious advantage... Everything works well, basically without any intervention from me, the car can drive normally."
Ford and Mobileye deepen their long-term partnership: Ford and Mobileye jointly announced plans to expand their strategic cooperation. For example, Ford will start using Mobileye¡¯s Road Information Management (REM™) autonomous vehicle map technology in the future version of Ford¡¯s BlueCruise platform. The driver¡¯s camera detects whether the driver is paying attention to the road ahead. In addition, REM™ technology will also be extended to true autonomous driving, so that vehicles can add stop-and-go on Ford¡¯s existing adaptive cruise control (ACC) on pre-verified highways with a central barrier. Parking and Lane Centering (LC) function. In addition, the two parties will also cooperate on Mobileye's open platform to allow Ford to build and integrate its own solutions to make future driving safer and easier.
Jim Farley, President and CEO of Ford, said: ¡°For more than a century, Ford has been committed to providing new automotive technologies to make driving safer and easier. We are very pleased to work with Mobileye to support us in developing the next generation of autonomous driving technology. Platforms to cooperate. Our investment in these capabilities will help us revolutionize the driving experience for our customers."
The first consumer-grade self-driving car based on Mobileye Drive™ technology: Mobileye and Geely Holding Group¡¯s global high-end electric mobility technology brand Jikrypton will further expand cooperation to create a new pure electric vehicle with L4 autonomous driving capabilities. Under the concept of open EyeQ, this car realizes the efficient integration of Mobileye and krypton software technology, integrates Mobileye's True Redundancy™ sensing solutions, road information management (REM™) autonomous vehicle map technology, and is based on responsibility The driving decision-making of the sensitive safety model (RSS) and the redundant braking, steering and power functions of the Geely SEA vast architecture. This model will become the world's first consumer-grade L4 autonomous driving car. It is expected to debut in China as early as 2024 and then be launched to the global market.
An Conghui, CEO of JiKr Intelligent Technology, said: "Mobileye has always been our strategic partner. Our common mission is to provide passenger vehicles that make future transportation more sustainable and automated. Our cooperation will support JiKr and Mobileye to achieve It is the common goal to lead the development of the global ADAS and autonomous driving industries. We welcome open cooperation, which will facilitate the integration of mobileye and Mobileye's technical expertise to better create exquisite autonomous driving experience for customers."
At CES in 2022, Udelv also announced the launch of a dedicated self-driving delivery vehicle powered by Mobileye Drive™. According to the cooperation plan announced by the two parties last year, Udelv plans to produce more than 35,000 transportation vehicles powered by Mobileye technology by 2028, and start commercial operations in 2023.
