autonomous driving and automatic driving power is the future of transportation safer, more efficient and comfortable important technology. In different application scenarios, the market requires a variety of solutions: At present, intelligent driver assistance functions, namely L2 + autopilot system, maximum likelihood widely used in the passenger area. In contrast, L4 and above the automatic steering system will likely be used in commercial vehicles and passenger transport in the city. ZF derived from passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturers, where new orders also confirmed this point.
ZF achieve self-driving and automatic driving large-scale applications is an attractive partner. ZF Friedrichshafen AG CEO Henning Wolf middot; when Shi Aide (Wolf-Henning Scheider) spoke on the reasons for participating in 2020 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2020) stated: quot; ZF already has to ability of different price and performance levels to provide a complete system, and actively participates in passenger cars, commercial vehicles and technological development in the field of industrial technology-related applications. quot;

ZF Group has expanded its broad portfolio of products to meet customers almost all technical requirements. quot; coASSIST system by ZF, we pioneered a L2 + system, its security and comfort comparable to the luxury-class models, and can be applied to economic models. quot; Shi Aide said.
ZF coASSIST system to obtain first order
ZF from a leading car manufacturer in Asia there has been an important order, began offering coASSIST L2 + entry-level system for the passenger cars from the end of 2020. ZF supply include systems and software development, as well as sensors and a central electronic control unit. Through advanced sensor suite(Including cameras and radar) combined with the central control unit, an adaptive cruise control can be achieved, traffic sign recognition, lane change assist, lane keeping aid and traffic congestion and other auxiliary functions.
quot; For passenger cars, we see the greatest potential L2 + concept, it can realize automatic driving function and all drivers can be used. quot; Shi Aide said. In this system, a combination of an additional auxiliary function of the control unit to form a powerful integrated intelligent driver assistance system. Compared with a single driver assistance systems to increase the connectivity features of the driver brought greater safety and comfort. The current major challenges facing the passenger autopilot raise the level of the system is the high cost and unclear regulation.
[ 123] ZF coASSIST system for $ 1,000 or less for the driver to bring an excellent safe and comfortable experience. This system meets the European New Car Assessment Program 2024 (Euro NCAP 2024) test requirements, features common L2 + functions. The system will be with a major Asian car manufacturers cooperation before the end of 2020 and put into production, will adopt the entire system including ZF Mobileye EyeQ ™, including, followed by ZF for the first time introduced Gen21 will also be equipped with this system.
as an integrated automotive systems supplier, ZF offers a full range of L2 + system, including:
middot; ZF coASSIST – is an economical L2 + solution that help cars to meet European New car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) of the relevant performance requirements, while its use of Intel’s Mobileye’s EyeQ ™ technology to provide a very popular L2 + advanced driver assistance features.
middot; ZF coDRIVE – extends the traffic congestion and highway driving assistance Accessibility. Mobileye Company EyeQ ™ technology 360deg; surround sensing camera functions and data processing capability, and may be implemented independent overtaking lane change.
middot; ZF coPILOT to L2 + is designed to enable advanced computing capabilities and processing power scalability L4 autonomous driving and designed to develop and NVIDIA. It can provide a variety of functions, such as: the liberation of the driver’s hands and feet, change lanes and overtake autonomous, self-parking garage and route learning, and equipped with ZF ProAI controller.
fully automated driving commercial vehicles
Shi Aide continued: quot; on commercial terms we have seen strong demand of customers for higher-level L4 and autopilot systems. quot; While the autopilot applications in passenger cars are still dependent on public transport regulations, but in the field of commercial vehicles, the vehicle has to run a high-level automatic driving mode in an enclosed area or a specific lane. In addition, the cost of driverless transport systems in urban passenger in the station or produced, can be quickly amortized in operation, providing customers cost savings.
based supercomputer ZF ProAI of ZF is currently working on a global commercial vehicle manufacturers to develop systems for L4 electronic control unit (ECU), plan listed on the 2024/25 years.
ZF become provider of software solutions
ZF is developing guidelines to speed up the strengthening of its development of software: Microsoft’s collaboration with ZF will strengthen information technology company owned by the speed and quality in software development processes, methods and solutions. After the transition to software-driven travel service provider, ZF can more effectively expand its global resources, at the same time can better respond to changing customer needs. In bilateral cooperation, the ZF can use its advantages Azure cloud services and development tools, and Microsoft can contribute its accumulated experience in agile software development. In the near future, ZF will provide the automotive industrySoftware solutions.
quot; significant changes constantly transportation industry. This is the ZF must continue to change, to promote the cause of development and transformation: we must be able to convince our customers with innovation, so that they (and ultimately the end consumer) to obtain added value. In the future, this will also include more and more software products and services, quot; Shi Aide said.
