Volkswagen AG is partnering with Robert Bosch GmbH to develop a common software platform to bring hands-free driving functions to the German carmaker’s entire fleet in a bid to catch up to Tesla Inc.
The platform, announced by VW’s Cariad software unit and Bosch on Tuesday, will serve all Volkswagen Group passenger vehicles before being opened to the wider industry. As a first step, the partners plan to roll out technology from next year that will allow drivers to temporarily take their hands off the steering wheel via an over-the-air update.
