Swedish electric vehicle companies target intelligent driving in China

In recent years, Swedish electric vehicle (EV) makers have been increasingly focusing on China's growing premium EV car market. Similarly, Chinese automobile makers like Hongqi have chosen Sweden, Norway, and other Northern European countries as their first stop to establish R&D facilities and promote new electric vehicle branding in European markets.

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

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

Mobileye, a leading producer of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technology, has already equipped over 150 million cars worldwide with its systems. The upcoming Mobileye Chauffeur technology is expected to enable hands-free, point-to-point autonomous driving on highways, along with eyes-on automated driving in various environments.
