Zeekr, Mobileye to produce consumer autonomous vehicles with L4 intelligence

Geely’s premium electric brand Zeekr announced that it will collaborate with Intel’s subsidiary Mobileye to create the world’s first consumer autonomous vehicles with Level 4 Intelligence.

In a statement, Zeekr will expand the strategic technology partnership to deliver the aforementioned vehicles by 2024.

The program, Zeekr said, reflects on 35 plus years of automotive research and development and manufacturing expertise of the mother company “as well as Zeekr’s ambition to provide an industry leading autonomous driving solution for its users.”

“The vehicle will utilize Geely SEA architecture’s true redundant braking, steering and power. Under an Open EyeQ concept, 6xEyeQ5 system-on-chips (SoCs) will power an integration of Zeekr’s proprietary software technologies together with Mobileye True Redundancy sensing, Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS)-based driving policy and a new open collaboration model on REM mapping technology,” the company said.

Aside from that, the latest collaboration furthered the long-term strategic technology partnership between the two firms that includes the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with enhanced capabilities for a variety of Zeekr models.

“The joint efforts are supported by open collaboration with technologies including REM, as Zeekr and Mobileye work toward achieving a safer and more sophisticated future on the roads,” the Chinese manufacturer noted.

Zeekr Intelligent Technology Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Andy An said that Mobileye has been a strategic partner to the company’s mission of “delivering lifestyle vehicles fit for a more sustainable and autonomous future of transportation.” “Our partnership supports Zeekr and Mobileye’s shared ambitions for leading the global ADAS and AV industry. Zeekr welcomes open collaboration that enables the integration of technological expertise to create a more sophisticated autonomous mobility experience for our customers.”

Meanwhile, Mobileye President and CEO Prof. Ammon Shashua highlighted that coverage expansion of their partnership reflects how their companies’ vision for future mobility are closely aligned. Zeekr’s confidence in Mobileye as a technology partner demonstrates our ability to execute joint goals and further solidify our industry leadership.”
