Stuttgart, Germany – Monotonous driving conditions, exhausting journeys, and congestion: many drivers want to be able to do more than stay constantly focused on traffic while they are at the wheel. With increasingly automated driving functions, Bosch is creating the technological foundations that will allow drivers to take their eyes off the road for a short while. This depends crucially on reliable information about the vehicle’s surroundings. Only such information will allow a car to navigate traffic autonomously, safely, and without hassle. Video perception of the vehicle’s surroundings will play an important role in the move from assisted to automated driving and parking. In this context, Bosch not only offers a combined package of hardware and software. Its portfolio now also includes video-perception software as a standalone product. Independently of any hardware, the Bosch software can be used on diverse SoCs (systems on chips). This gives automakers maximum flexibility. At IAA Mobility 2023, Bosch will not only be premiering its standalone video-perception software. It will also be debuting hardware-only camera heads.
