Quick Takeaways
- Autonomous trucking platforms are moving closer to scalable commercialization through sensor, AI, and software convergence.
- Bosch is positioning AI-driven software and redundancy-focused hardware as long-term growth engines in mobility.
Recently, Bosch autonomous truck platform developments took center stage at CES 2026, as Robert Bosch GmbH outlined major advances in autonomous trucking, radar technology, and software-driven mobility growth. The announcements underline Bosch’s strategy to combine AI, sensors, and vehicle systems to accelerate the commercialization of driverless and assisted driving solutions.
Bosch autonomous truck platform with Kodiak AI partnership
Robert Bosch GmbH confirmed a strategic collaboration with Kodiak AI to develop redundant platforms specifically designed for autonomous trucks. The Bosch autonomous truck platform is engineered to be integrated into standard production trucks, enabling scalable deployment of driverless capabilities without the need for bespoke vehicle architectures.
Key elements of the platform include:
Bosch will contribute critical hardware such as sensors and vehicle actuation systems, including advanced steering technologies, ensuring precise control and fail-safe operation in autonomous freight applications.
Radar Gen 7 Premium enhances advanced driver assistance
At CES 2026, Bosch also introduced its Radar Gen 7 Premium, combining next-generation sensor technology with artificial intelligence to support advanced driver assistance features. The system is designed to strengthen functions such as freeway pilot by delivering highly accurate object detection over long distances.
Notable capabilities of Radar Gen 7 Premium include:
These features are intended to improve safety, situational awareness, and reliability in both assisted and autonomous driving scenarios.
Software, AI, and mobility growth outlook
Bosch highlighted strong expectations for its software and digital services business. The company anticipates that software and services revenues will exceed EUR 6 billion by the start of the next decade, with nearly two-thirds generated by its Mobility business sector.
Looking further ahead, Bosch projects that combined sales from software, sensor technologies, high-performance computing, and network components will more than double by the mid-2030s, surpassing EUR 10 billion. To support this growth, the company plans to invest over EUR 2.5 billion in artificial intelligence initiatives by 2027, reinforcing AI as a core pillar of its long-term mobility strategy.
