Polestar and Mobileye have announced a groundbreaking collaboration aimed at incorporating autonomous driving technology into the forthcoming Polestar 4 electric vehicle (EV). The autonomous capabilities will be built on Mobileye’s Chauffeur AV platform and integrated by ECARX, bringing a new layer of advanced, on-demand convenience to Polestar’s performance EVs.

Polestar 4 Sets Stage for Autonomous Capabilities

Launching in China and globally in 2024, the Polestar 4 electric vehicle will initially feature an advanced driver assistance system built on Mobileye’s SuperVision technology. This paves the way for the integration of Chauffeur, which promises hands-off, eyes-off autonomous driving on highways, as well as eyes-on automated driving in other specific operational domains.

Enhanced Driver Experience with Advanced Technologies

Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar, commented, “Innovation in our performance electric vehicles is a priority, and working with Mobileye allows us to make driving more enjoyable when autonomous features are enabled.” Both SuperVision and Chauffeur technologies utilize Mobileye’s EyeQ systems-on-chip, RSS-based driving policy, 360-degree camera systems, and REM-powered Mobileye Roadbook maps. Moreover, Chauffeur will upgrade SuperVision by incorporating the next-generation EyeQ6 system-on-chip, along with active radar and lidar sensors, offering a more comprehensive autonomous driving experience.

Industry Leaders Join Forces for a Safer, Autonomous Future

“Mobileye Chauffeur offers a safer, more accessible way for consumers to experience the next revolution in personal transportation,” said Prof. Amnon Shashua, CEO of Mobileye. This partnership with Polestar, an innovator in consumer electric vehicles, amplifies Mobileye’s two decades of experience applying AI to more than 150 million vehicles worldwide.

As the electric vehicle and autonomous driving sectors continue to expand, collaborations like this between Polestar and Mobileye set the stage for a future where advanced technology and user convenience converge. Details about the integration will be revealed as the production launch nears.
