In recent years, there has been a growing focus among Swedish electric vehicle (EV) 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 stop 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 EV maker, announced a partnership with Mobileye. This partnership aims to incorporate Mobileye's Chauffeur autonomous driving technology into the Polestar 4.

During the Chengdu Motor Show, Polestar showcased two of its electric SUV models: 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 innovative technology by utilizing a Mobileye SuperVision-based ADAS from the very beginning.

Polestar, the Swedish electric performance car maker, presented its Polestar 4 at the Chengdu Motor Show on August 25, 2023. This event marked an important platform for showcasing their latest electric vehicle.

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