Munich, 16 May, 2017 – The BMW Group, Intel and
Mobileye (“Cooperation Partners”) announce their intention to onboard
Delphi as a development partner and system integrator for their
State-of-the-Art autonomous driving platform. The four partners intend
to jointly deploy a cooperation model to deliver and scale the
developed solutions to the broader OEM automotive industry and
potentially other industries.
Delphi has already provided a prototype compute platform to the BMW
Group and is working together with Intel and Mobileye in the areas of
perception, sensor fusion, and high performance automated driving computing.
In July 2016 BMW Group, Intel, and Mobileye announced
that they are joining forces to make self-driving vehicles become a
reality and are collaborating to bring solutions for highly and fully
automated driving into series production by 2021. The Cooperation
Partners have since developed a scalable architecture that can be
adopted by other automotive developers and carmakers to pursue
State-of-the-Art designs and create differentiated brands.
System integrators, such as Delphi, are critical for the go to market
strategy of the joint solution to reach multiple automotive OEMs
quickly. A key role for Delphi will be the integration of the solution
delivered by BMW Group, Intel and Mobileye into OEM vehicle
architectures. Additionally, Delphi may also provide required hardware
components such as sensors as well as specific customization efforts
and applications for differentiation.
This engagement between Delphi and the Cooperation Partners is
non-exclusive. The Cooperation Partners are in the process of
onboarding additional integration and development partners to support
future OEM customer needs.

“From the very beginning we designed our cooperation on a
non-exclusive platform for this technology of the future. With the
onboarding of Delphi we significantly strengthen our development of
the automated driving and do a future step in spreading this
technology across the industry,” stated Klaus Fröhlich, Member
of the Board of Management of BMW AG for Development.
“The partnership between BMW, Intel and Mobileye continues to break
new ground in the auto industry,” said Intel CEO Brian
Krzanich. “In less than one year the joint teams have made
substantial progress to deliver a scalable platform for autonomous
driving and are on path to deliver 40 pilot cars in second half of
this year. Adding Delphi as an integration partner will help to
accelerate the introduction of autonomous cars on the streets from
multiple carmakers and offer differentiation to customers.”
“Collaboration and inclusion across multiple automakers and suppliers
is the best approach to developing a safe, cost-efficient, and
fast-to-market solution for autonomous driving,” said Mobileye
Co-Founder, Chairman and CTO Professor Amnon
Shashua. “Delphi’s expertise in the field, as well as long
history of integrating complex systems, makes them a very appropriate
choice to join this cooperation.”
“This is a great opportunity for Delphi to use its technical depth
and experience with automated driving and electrical architecture to
help the cooperation develop and deploy at scale. Our close working
relationship with all three partners serves as a solid foundation for
a success,” said Kevin Clark, President and CEO of Delphi.
