Swedish EV companies target intelligent driving in China

In recent years, there has been a growing focus among 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.

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

At this year's Chengdu Motor Show, Polestar showcased two of its latest 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, sets the foundation for this advanced 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 technology. The company's Chauffeur technology, expected to be introduced in the coming years, aims to provide hands-free, point-to-point autonomous driving on highways, while also enabling eyes-on automated driving in various environments.
