US EditionVolkswagen to Develop Own Assisted Driving Chip in China
Volkswagen partners with Horizon Robotics to design an AI chip enhancing assisted driving, aiming to regain market share and reduce reliance on global semiconductor supply chains.
- On Wednesday, German car manufacturing giant Volkswagen said it will develop an in-house assisted driving chip for its China business as it seeks to recover from sagging sales.
- Volkswagen is seeking to insulate itself from global semiconductor tensions as Washington has expanded export controls in recent years, while smart driving capabilities have become a key battleground in China's domestic auto market.
- Design and production will be handled by a joint venture between CARIAD, Volkswagen's software company, and Horizon Robotics, Chinese technology company, with delivery expected within three to five years and focus on localized implementation in China.
- Volkswagen described the move as deepening an 'In China, for China' strategy, and said it will develop new electric and hybrid vehicles plus an assisted driving system tailored to China to feed technological achievements back into the global business.
- Amid wider supply-chain rows such as the Nexperia dispute, Volkswagen said it aims to control a key technology shaping the future of intelligent driving.
