CARIAD’s Post

Very interesting post about the major effort put into developing Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) 🚗and Autonomous Driving (AD) 💥🚗... The Alliance led by CARIAD and Bosch aims to provide next generation ADAS and AD systems while tackling on almost daily basis new technological challenges in almost every part of the development cycle💪💪. As common as it may seem, development of ADAS/AD systems for open roads is quite an impressive challenge and reaching higher and higher levels of precision requires new technological advances in fields such as System Engineering, requirements engineering, testing and validation, and last but most importantly machine learning and data science. Hope it to see more and more technological advances on the way to fully autonomous vehicles🚗🚗🚗.

Automated driving functions for all vehicle classes – this is the goal Bosch and CARIAD are pursuing with the Automated Driving Alliance. 🚘🙌 From the first line of code, tests, and validation to the delivery of functions: We have managed to significantly shorten the go-to-market timeline. The first functions will offer drivers comprehensive assistance with the driving task, featuring handsfree-driving on freeways and active lane-changing support. #BoschTechDay #automateddriving #adas

I had the opportunity to discuss with S&P Auto Tech Insights about why open source principles are essential for the automotive industry to meet consumer expectations and accelerate development for software-defined vehicles. Check it out below! Comments and feedback are welcomed!

⁉️How to (re)engage with your customer(s), while motivating and developing the mindset of your engineering teams? I really like this approach of the Experience Days from Bosch, beyond the simple “showcase” of Bosch technologies and products, I also see some powerful implications, like for example: 🤔 Create expectation: These events are recurrent, and tend to show not only new products but also new iterations of existing or in development products. Customers invited to the event will get to not only see but also experience these products. The recurrence may create expectation, curiosity, which can be a door opener to commercial discussions. 💡Motivate the engineering teams, and foster innovation: Engaging the customers early with innovative products or early engineering demo software is a great way to get early customer feedback, and checking market potential. It is also a great opportunity for the engineering teams to get direct customer feedback, which tends to motivate them in developing the best system possible, even at such an early phase. 🙋♂️Business-driven mentality: The direct contact between customers and engineering teams definitely help the engineers to develop a more business-oriented mentality (what does my customer expect, and how can I deliver). 🤯 User Experience: Customers will interact for the most part with the presented systems for the first time. They will definitely share their views on their overall experience and interaction with the systems, and what an end customer might do or expect. Engineers tend sometimes to focus on the technology more than the way the end user will use the end product. Such an event is therefore a great opportunity to refine it, and the “story” how you present it (while in all fairness this in the end lies more in the hands of the OEM, not so much of the Tier1) 🧑🔬👩🔬Build on your assets: It is not so widely known, but Bosch Corporate Research is a large organisation within Bosch, regularly delivering a comprehensive set of technologies in state relatively close to industrialisation. An event like the Experience Days typically will demonstrate many of these innovations, in context of industrialized or series development embedded products. This is made possible through close collaboration between Research teams and Product Engineering teams. This opens a path for closer collaboration between these two « worlds », and potentially accelerates industrialization of new technologies, in context of a user relevant product, fitting customer and market expectations. 🗣️ And you? What do you think about this initiative? How does your company engage with its customers/prospects? #Bosch #Adas #XC #LikeaBosch #Cooperation #CustomerEngagement #R&D Bosch Research, Bosch Mobility

For almost 100 years, Bosch has been setting new standards making cars safer by means of technical innovations, inventions, and patents for braking systems. To name a few: 🚀 In 1927, the pneumatic servo brake significantly increased the road safety. The braking distance of contemporary commercial vehicles was reduced by one third. 🚀 One year later, Bosch presented the brake support, a compact brake assistance system for passenger cars. 🚀 In 1936, the basis for modern anti-lock braking systems was laid when Bosch filed a patent for a "mechanism to prevent locking of the wheels of a motor vehicle." 🚀 In 1978, the powerful digital technology allowed the series production of the anti-lock braking system (ABS). Stay tuned for more about our solutions for even better safety, dynamics, convenience, and driving enjoyment. #BoschTechDay #history #braking #mobility #technology #archive

🚗💡Automotive Development: Efficiency with Existing Parts In the development of new car models, maximizing the use of existing parts is crucial. This drives efficiency, optimizes resources, and accelerates time to market. However, configuring the packaging properly presents complex challenges. Challenges in Packaging Configuration: Integrating each component into the vehicle's design, considering space, weight, and safety, is essential. For example, the starter motor is a common part in various models, underscoring the importance of reusing existing parts. By tackling these challenges with skill and creativity, we can create innovative and efficient vehicles, ensuring an exceptional driving experience. #AutomotiveEngineering #Efficiency #AutomotiveDevelopment #Innovation

Nice read on Auto sector from Bosch perspective. Here is few key points from this article. Highlight is- "German auto components giant is not ready to abandon the traditional, ICE platform yet." Bosch, has decided to remain technologically open, combine various technologies in a smarter way, and offer compelling solutions to their OEM customers. Views on Software defined Vehicle (SDV)- It anticipates continued innovations in hardware as well. They come from the world of hardware with embedded software, therefore they have a view that whoever thinks the future is software-only, is mistaken. View on Electric Vehicle: Bosch is convinced that [while] electrification will make its way, it will not be a linear transformation. And the key reason behind this is that the development of EV infrastructure has not occurred at the pace that it should have. https://lnkd.in/gdFGEqEg

Future of vehicles in Bosch's hands! 🙌 Big news from the floor of #CES2024 - at Bosch we just raised the bar with their new vehicle computer platform. 💡 This tech simplifies the way cars function by combining automated parking, lane detection, and personalized navigation into one central system. Imagine fewer components but more innovation! At Bosch, our approach is simple — more flexible and cost-effective future for automakers. That's why we let our software run on chips from multiple manufacturers! 🤝 The road ahead looks promising, doesn't it? 🛣️ #Bosch #automotive #technology #innovations

Amazing article of SDV for all automotive engineers, who are seeking to understand the SDV journey ✨✨, Must read !!
