- MQB-based cars will get a 2+ level semi-autonomous driving system.
- The new system will be available in the coming years on several VW group brands.
- Handsome driving, traffic assistance and parking assistance will be part of the package.
Vehicles based on the Volkswagen MQB platform are about to become much more competent thanks to a new partnership with Valeo and Mobileye. This opens the way to an improved semi-autonomous driving system.
To be launched in the “next years”, the system promises to improve safety and comfort in high volume vehicles. This should benefit consumers and the automaker because there will be rationalized purchases on several brands. This implies reduced costs and complexity, while offering customers more advanced features.

Since the system is still far away, the details are limited. However, companies have said that we can expect hands -free driving on approved road sections as well as traffic assistance, parking assistance and a 360 ° emergency aid system. This is in addition to the “detection of dangers” and the capacities ready for future such as support for augmented reality exhibitions.
Although this is vague, it seems that we can expect the eyes, driving roads on certain roads at speeds up to 81 mph (130 km / h). This should be accompanied by automatic track changes to make long journeys even more relaxing.
The activation of these characteristics is a “360 ° ring” of cameras, radars and sensors. They will be joined by the new Adas Surround Platform of Mobileye as well as by processor and cartography technology Eyeq 6 High. This will mark the first time that all of these components have been integrated into a single system and companies have said that this caused a multiple ECU replaced by a centralized unit, which contributes to improving efficiency and performance.
