Polestar 4 to feature autonomous driving tech

Polestar and Mobileye aims to make Polestar 4 the first production car to feature Mobileye’s Chauffeur autonomous driving technology – to be integrated by ECARX and with potential application in future Polestar vehicles.

US-based Mobileye produces leading advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technology which is already fitted to more than 150 million cars worldwide.

Polestar 4, on sale now in China where first deliveries are forecast before the end of this year, and on sale globally in 2024, lays the foundation for this technology by featuring a Mobileye SuperVision-based ADAS from the start.

Chauffeur is expected to offer eyes-off, point-to-point autonomous driving on highways, as well as eyes-on automated driving for other environments.

“A collaboration with Mobileye can significantly push innovation in our Polestar 4 electric performance SUV coupé,” says Polestar chief executive Thomas Ingenlath.

 “We know that driving yourself is not always fun and exciting – this technology means our customers could enable autonomous driving when they want, making all future journeys enjoyable.”

Polestar 4 combines distinct design elements from the Polestar Precept concept car with the aerodynamic lines of a coupé and the space and comfort of a modern SUV. It is positioned between Polestar 2 and Polestar 3 in terms of size and price.

Mobileye Chauffeur is intended for Polestar 4 later, with exact details and timing to be announced.

Polestar 3, with deliveries planned to start 2024, is built on a different platform and features its own suite of ADAS and future autonomous driving technology features.
