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 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, Swedish premium EV maker Polestar announced a partnership with Mobileye. This partnership aims to incorporate Mobileye's Chauffeur autonomous driving technology into the Polestar 4, their latest offering. The Chengdu Motor Show, held on August 25, 2023, is the largest annual auto show in western China.

During this year's Chengdu Motor Show, Polestar showcased two of their electric vehicles: the Polestar 4, a pure electric high-performance SUV, and the Polestar 3, an ultra-luxury pure electric SUV. The Polestar 4 is particularly significant as it is the first production car to feature Mobileye's Chauffeur autonomous driving technology. This technology is based on Mobileye SuperVision-based ADAS, which provides advanced driver assistance.

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