Eyes for automated driving cars: Bosch works with partner on new camera technology

Cooperation with Sony Semiconductor Solutions agreed

  • Cooperation between #bosch and Sony Semiconductor Solutions will allow more accurate sensing of the surroundings using video sensors, even in difficult lighting conditions.
  • Know-how in image sensing technology and #automotive technology will be incorporated into the innovative new video sensors for driver assistance systems and automated driving.

Stuttgart - Suddenly dazzled, vision restricted: This is something drivers experience regularly when driving on a sunny day when the sun is low in the sky. Briefly driving blind is often also required due to the glare when driving out of a tunnel on a bright day. Changing or poor lighting conditions provide a challenge not only for the human eye, but also for video sensors such as those required for driver assistance systems and automated driving. To make these sensors better, #bosch and Sony Semiconductor Solutions have agreed a cooperation. Together, the two companies aim to develop a highly innovative camera technology that will enable cars to reliably sense their surroundings even in difficult lighting conditions. "Bosch and Sony Semiconductor Solutions are bringing together the technological know-how of the market leader for image sensors and the #automotive know-how of the world's biggest supplier," says Gerhard Steiger, president of the #bosch Chassis Systems Control division.
