Bosch and CARIAD Complete AI-Enabled ADAS Level 2 Software Development for Mass Market Vehicles

Robert Bosch GmbH and CARIAD have successfully concluded the joint development of assisted and automated driving technologies through the Automated Driving Alliance. The collaboration has resulted in an AI-enabled software stack supporting ADAS Level 2 driving functions for the mass market while preserving compatibility with a broad range of vehicle platforms. The completed solution represents a significant milestone in expanding advanced driver assistance technologies across different automotive segments without changing the original technical scope of the project.

The jointly developed software has been engineered for integration into multiple vehicle categories, including compact passenger cars and premium models. It has also been designed to operate across both battery-electric and combustion-engine vehicle platforms, allowing manufacturers to deploy a common technology foundation regardless of powertrain type. This flexible architecture supports broader scalability and simplifies implementation across diverse product portfolios while maintaining consistent ADAS Level 2 functionality.

The first planned production application of the software stack is the Volkswagen ID.EVERY1, which is currently scheduled to enter series production in 2027. The deployment demonstrates how the jointly developed technology is expected to transition from development into commercial vehicle programs, enabling advanced assisted driving capabilities within future mass-market vehicles.

As part of the collaboration, both companies will retain access to a comprehensive portfolio of jointly created intellectual property as well as data generated through the Automated Driving Alliance. These shared assets will support the integration of the developed technologies into each company's respective series production products while providing a foundation for continued advancement of future assisted and automated driving solutions.
