Volkswagen is preparing Level 3 automated driving for China by next year.<\/p>\n

Horizon Robotics supplies the AI foundation models behind the new stack.<\/p>\n

Seven new energy vehicles get an urban L2++ upgrade later this year.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen\u2019s driver assistance tech in the West has never threatened the class leaders, but in China<\/a> the company plans to put Level 3 automated driving in customer cars in the second half of 2027. Level 3 means the car handles the driving within set conditions and the driver stops being the moment-to-moment backup, something no VW-badged model in Europe or North America can do today.<\/p>\n

The German automaker is working alongside Chinese firm Horizon Robotics<\/a> to make it happen. The duo operate a joint venture known as Carizon and, through a strengthened deal agreed to between the companies, Horizon\u2019s AI foundation-model capabilities will be used to develop and accelerate the creation of an advanced new AI<\/a> driving solution for VW.<\/p>\n

The automaker\u2019s unified AI driving model will be trained to handle end-to-end driving tasks and, thanks to Horizon\u2019s technologies, better anticipate the behavior of other road users, creating a safer and more reliable system.<\/p>\n

This driving stack will be integrated within VW\u2019s<\/a> China Electronic Architecture (CEA), its first locally developed zonal electronic and electrical architecture<\/a>. This will ensure the complex automated driving functions can be added to several model lines not only in China, but also in the \u201cGlobal South,\u201d according to VW.<\/p>\n

\n VW ID. Unyx 07

\n <\/a> <\/p>\n

Carizon\u2019s L2+ ADAS already appears in several VW models sold in China<\/a>, among them the ID. Unyx 07 and ID. Unyx 06, with highway Navigate on Autopilot and memory parking. An L2++ version arrives later this year, extending Navigate on Autopilot into cities and destined for seven of VW\u2019s new energy vehicles in the Chinese market.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina has become one of Volkswagen Group\u2019s key innovation and technology hubs, particularly in software, artificial intelligence and automated driving,\u201d VW Group chief executive Oliver Blume said. \u201cOur deepened collaboration within CARIZON further strengthens our ability to develop and scale AI-based solutions for automated driving.\u201d<\/p>\n
