Bosch and Daimler: Metropolis in California to become a pilot city for automated driving


  • Fully-automated, driverless driving in the city requires the highest level of functional safety.
  • Bosch and Daimler possess know-how from the individual component and the entire vehicle to the operator model.
  • In 2019 a major city in the Silicon Valley will become the first pilot-testing city for Bosch and Daimler.
  • US technology company Nvidia supplies the platform for AI algorithms from Bosch and Daimler.

Bosch and Daimler are speeding up the development of fully-automated and driverless driving (SAE Level 4/5) in the city and are decisively setting the course. The partners have chosen California as the pilot location for the first test fleet. In the second half of 2019, Bosch and Daimler will offer customers a shuttle service with automated vehicles on selected routes in a Californian metropolis. Daimler Mobility Services is envisaged as the operator of this test fleet and the app-based mobility service. The pilot project will demonstrate how mobility services such as car sharing (car2go), ride-hailing (mytaxi) and multi-modal platforms (moovel) can be intelligently connected to shape the future of mobility. In addition, the partners have decided on the US technology company Nvidia as the supplier of the artificial intelligence platform as part of their control unit network.
