In recent years, there has been a growing focus by Swedish electric vehicle makers on China's premium EV car market. Similarly, Chinese automobile makers like Hongqi have chosen Sweden, Norway, and other Northern European countries as their first destinations to establish R&D facilities and promote their new electric vehicle brands in the European markets.

At the 26th edition of the Chengdu Motor Show, the largest annual auto show in western China, Polestar, a Swedish premium electric vehicle (EV) maker, announced its partnership with Mobileye. This collaboration aims to incorporate Mobileye's Chauffeur autonomous driving technology into the Polestar 4.

Polestar showcased its latest models, the Polestar 4, a pure electric high-performance SUV, and the Polestar 3, an ultra-luxury pure electric SUV, at this year's Chengdu Motor Show. The Polestar 4, which is the first production car to feature Mobileye's Chauffeur autonomous driving technology, serves as a foundation for this technology by utilizing a Mobileye SuperVision-based ADAS from the beginning.

Mobileye, a leading producer of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technology, is already present in over 150 million cars worldwide. Their Chauffeur technology, set to be introduced in the coming years, is expected to enable hands-free, point-to-point autonomous driving on highways, while also offering eyes-on automated driving for various environments.
