Bosch rounds up components for automated driving

By Christoph Hammerschmidt, May. 09, 2017 – 

While robot taxis still are a vision of a rather distant future, the automotive industry is feverishly working on levels 3 ("eyes off") and 4 ("mind off") driving. Accordingly equipped vehicles are expected to be available around the middle of the next decade at latest. Automotive supplier Bosch presented the complete set of components that help carmakers to automate their vehicles. Not that it contains much technological news, but at least it offers a rather comprehensive overview.

In line with the generally accepted state of the art in terms of automated driving, the common denominator for Bosch's product strategy is the understanding that automated driving affects all segments of the vehicle - powertrain, brakes, steering, navigation and sensors as well as connectivity within the car and to the outside world. All components introduced are designed to fit into this scheme.
