Mobileye, ZF To Develop Autonomous Driving Systems For Toyota

Intel’s Jerusalem-based subsidiary Mobileye, a developer of ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and ZF Group, a German automotive parts manufacturer, are teaming up to develop ADAS for Japanese automotive giant Toyota for use in multiple vehicle platforms starting in the next few years. Mobileye’s EyeQ4, an advanced application-specific vision computing system-on-chips (SoC) for level 4 autonomous driving, will be combined with ZF’s Gen 21 mid-range radar technology to interpret the environment around Toyota vehicles. The new relationship with Toyota significantly extends the reach of Mobileye and ZF safety technology to enhance safety and driver convenience functions on world roadways, the parties said in a press statement. “Mobileye is delighted to be working with ZF to develop leading driver-assistance and safety technology for Toyota, the world’s largest automaker,” said Professor Amnon Shahua, co-founder and CEO of Mobileye and VP at Intel. “ZF looks forward to working closely with Toyota and Mobileye to develop advanced safety systems designed to meet advanced global safety regulations,” said Christophe Marnat, executive VP, Electronics and ADAS division at ZF.
