Mobileye, an Israeli technology company, has partnered with Delphi Automotive, a UK-based automotive parts manufacturing company, to jointly develop a complete SAE Level 4/5 automated driving solution.

According to the agreement, both companies will be responsible for an end-to-end production-intent fully automated vehicle solution.

The solution developed will focus on performance, as well as functional safety required for integration into diverse vehicle platforms for a range of customers worldwide.

"This partnership will allow us to give our customers an increased level of automated capabilities faster and more cost effectively."

Mobileye develops vision-based advanced driver assistance systems providing warnings for collision prevention and mitigation.

Mobileye chairman and chief technology officer Amnon Shashua said: “The Mobileye and Delphi relationship started in 2002 with the implementation of what was one of the most advanced active safety systems of the time.

"Our long history together is key to the success of this ambitious endeavor.

“Our partnership with Delphi will accelerate the time to market and enable customers to adopt Level 4/5 automation without the need for huge capital investments, thereby creating a formidable advantage for them.”

Delphi develops automated driving software, sensors and systems integration.

Delphi president and chief executive officer Kevin Clark said: “This partnership will allow us to give our customers an increased level of automated capabilities faster and more cost effectively.

“The collective expertise of our two organisations will accelerate the creation of new approaches and capabilities that would likely not have been possible working alone.

"This is a win-win for both companies and our customers.”

The automated driving solution developed by Mobileye and Delphi will be based on key technologies from each company.

Mobileye will be offering its EyeQ 4/5 System on a Chip (SoC) with sensor signal processing, fusion, world view generation and Road Experience Management (REM) system that will be used for real time mapping and vehicle localization.

Delphi will render its automated driving software algorithms, which include the Path and Motion Planning features, and its Multi-Domain Controller (MDC) with the full camera, radar and LiDAR suite.
