As technology continues to advance at an unparalleled rate in the automotive industry, two titans are teaming together to usher in a new era of driving. Enter Polestar and Mobileye, who are cooperating to integrate Mobileye's Chauffeur autonomous driving technology into the upcoming Polestar 4. Before you get too excited, keep in mind that this is a journey, not an overnight destination. So, let's break this down.

The Polestar 4 is planned to debut in China this year and will be available globally in 2024. Not only does the car feature an appealing blend of style from the Polestar Precept concept and the modernism of a beautiful SUV, but it also includes Mobileye's SuperVision-based ADAS from the start. To put it simply, consider this a teaser for the main event - the eventual incorporation of the Chauffeur technology.

So, what exactly does the Chauffeur technology promise? The system is intended to provide "eyes-off" autonomous driving on highways, allowing drivers to sit back and relax. Doesn't that sound lovely? But it does not end there. Even in urban environments where constant attention is required, Chauffeur offers a "eyes-on" autonomous driving experience. But let's keep our feet on the ground—the specifics aren't out yet, so a little patience and scepticism will go a long way.

Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath added an unusual perspective. He pointed out that driving isn't necessarily the high-adrenaline, wind-in-your-hair feeling we envision. It can be exhausting at times. And this is where Mobileye's technology might make a difference, by offering drivers the option to activate autonomous driving when the mundane arises. He makes an excellent point.


Mobileye is not a newcomer to the market. Mobileye has made its mark since 1999, with a portfolio that includes technologies that are shaping the future of mobility. We're talking about 150 million automobiles worldwide that use Mobileye technology. REMTM crowdsourcing mapping and Responsibility Sensitive Safety (RSS) are two of its notable features. In a recent twist of events, Mobileye began its journey as a distinct corporation from Intel, which still holds a controlling stake.

Polestar, the Swedish electric phenomenon making considerable advance in the field of sustainable mobility, is on the other end of this relationship. Polestar's goal to deploy five EVs by 2026 ensures that the future of autos is exciting, both in terms of performance and sustainability. In terms of sustainability, the Polestar 0 project demonstrates the brand's dedication to the environment, with the goal of producing a carbon-neutral vehicle by 2030. Yes, it's ambitious. Is it necessary? Without a doubt.
