Polestar has announced a partnership with Mobileye to incorporate their Chauffeur autonomous driving technology into the Polestar 4.
The Polestar 4, which launched in China today and is slated for a global release in 2024, serves as the platform for introducing Mobileye’s SuperVision-based ADAS. Early reservation holders in China can expect deliveries before the close of 2023.
Mobileye’s Chauffeur technology, expected to roll out in the coming years, is expected to provide hands-free, point-to-point autonomous driving on highways, coupled with eyes-on automated driving for diverse environments.
“Our collaboration with Mobileye represents a monumental stride towards innovation in our Polestar 4 electric performance SUV coupé. Empowering our customers with the option of autonomous driving means that future journeys can be truly remarkable,” said Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar.
The Polestar 4 is the Swedish automaker’s second SUV, and it is also slated to be their “fastest Polestar production car to date.” Dubbed as an “SUV coupe” by the automaker, the Polestar 4 incorporates design elements inspired by the automaker’s concept cars, and comes with a 102 kWh battery that can charge up to 200 kW DC and 22 kW AC.
While the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 are yet to launch, the company has seen quiet success with the Polestar 2. Earlier this week they celebrated production of the 150,000 Polestar 2, while at the same time starting deliveries of the upgraded version of the electric sedan.
