The Road to Automated Driving

Bosch is teaching the vehicle how to drive. Step by step, Bosch is making automated driving a reality: from innovative assistance systems, to partly and highly automated functions for improved safety and comfort, to the fascination with fully automated driving in the future. Many technical milestones have already been reached. ​These include, for example, traffic jam assist with longitudinal and lateral guidance, predictive pedestrian protection and remote-controlled parking assistant.

High braking performance improves collision avoidance through presence detection of very close objects and faster reaction to various suddenly appearing obstacles (i.e. pedestrians, changing scenes). Signal coding and advanced digital signal processing achieved this capacity.

Compatible with the driver assistance portfolio (such as radar and camera) with sensor data fusion (SDF) to realize more advanced parking functions like home zone park assist.

Components and complete systems from a single source. Bosch promotes the development of automated driving. The key to success is a deep understanding of all the systems in a vehicle.

The comprehensive range of Bosch technologies stretches from environment recognition and localization to motion control, to functions relevant to system redundancy and connecting with the ​outside world. Because of these technologies. the car can observe and interpret its environment and independently accelerate, brake and steer. With every innovation, we get one step closer to stress- and accident-free driving.
