The forthcoming Polestar 4 SUV-coupé will become the first production car to feature Mobileye’s Chauffeur autonomous driving technology under a new collaboration.

First deliveries of the Polestar 4 are expected in China before the end of 2023 ahead of a global launch in 2024

The tie-up between the two firms will also potentially roll out the technology to future Polestar vehicles.

The Polestar 4, debuted at the Shanghai motor show this year and pitched as a “new breed of SUV coupé, will kick off the partnership with by featuring a Mobileye SuperVision-based ADAS from the start, integrated by ECARX. First deliveries of the new model in China are expected before the end of 2023 ahead of a global launch in 2024.

The technology is expected to evolve in the coming years to offer eyes-off, point-to-point autonomous driving on highways, as well as eyes-on automated driving for other environments.

Mobileye’s advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technology is already fitted to over 150 million cars worldwide.

Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO, said: “I am really happy with how Polestar 4’s production readiness is advancing. A collaboration with Mobileye can significantly push innovation in our Polestar 4 electric performance SUV-coupé. We know that driving yourself is not always fun and exciting – this technology means our customers could enable autonomous driving when they want, making all future journeys enjoyable.”

Positioned between the existing 2 saloon-cum-hatchback and the forthcoming 3 SUV, the Polestar 4 combines distinct design elements from the Polestar Precept concept car with the aerodynamic lines of a coupé and the space and comfort of a modern SUV. It’s targeted to deliver up to 372 miles of range.
