Mobileye, an Intel subsidiary, announced a partnership with Zeekr to create electric autonomous vehicles (AVs) for consumers. The companies plan to debut the vehicle in China in 2024, which would make it the first ever L4 consumer AV. The vehicle will be built using six EyeQ 5s, Mobileye’s fifth generation autonomous driving chip.
Consumer autonomous vehicles
Many companies are testing AVs for services such as taxi rides, deliveries and trucking. Consumer AVs provide additional obstacles, as many current AVs operate in heavily mapped and limited areas. Geely and Mobileye aren’t the only companies taking on the challenge, however.
