Mobileye and Delphi to develop automated driving solution

Mobileye and Delphi Automotive have announced a partnership to jointly develop a complete automated driving solution.

The solution will be based on key technologies from each company, including Mobileye’s EyeQ 4/5 System on a Chip (SoC) with sensor signal processing, fusion, world view generation and road experience management system, which will be used for real time mapping and vehicle localisation.

Delphi will incorporate automated driving software algorithms from its Ottomatika acquisition, which include the path and motion planning features, and Delphi’s multi-domain controller with the full camera, radar and LiDAR suite.

The companies hope to have the solution production ready by 2019.

Professor Amnon Shashua, Mobileye chairman and chief technology officer, said: “The Mobileye and Delphi relationship started in 2002 with the implementation of what was one of the most advanced active safety systems of the time. Our long history together is key to the success of this ambitious endeavour.

“Our partnership with Delphi will accelerate the time to market and enable customers to adopt Level 4/5 automation without the need for huge capital investments, thereby creating a formidable advantage for them.”

Kevin Clark, Delphi president and chief executive officer, said: “This partnership will allow us to give our customers an increased level of automated capabilities faster and more cost effectively. The collective expertise of our two organisations will accelerate the creation of new approaches and capabilities that would likely not have been possible working alone. This is a win-win for both companies and our customers.”
