BERLIN(Reuters) -Volkswagen's software subsidiary Cariad and autos supplier Bosch are teaming up to develop software for automated driving to use in Volkswagen's cars, the companies said in a joint statement on Tuesday.

Using data from Volkswagen's fleet, the partners will develop so-called Level 2 autonomous driving software - enabling hands-free driving in cities, rural areas and on the motorway - as well as a Level 3 system that takes over all driving functions on the motorway.
