Tesla, Mobile-eye & Jaguar in the news

Tesla, Mobile-eye & Jaguar in the news

Earlier this week Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry weighed in on Tesla Motors TSLA relating to its use of MobileEye MBLY Advanced driver assistance features.
It was noted that starting today some Model S 85 KwH models with a Tech Package, came equipped with the following:

• Driver Assist feature including Lane Departure
• Speed Assist
• Parking Sensors

The specculation is that the Driver Assist feature is from MobileEye, but by looking at the camera, they were unable to identify the supplier.
"As we have been saying "Within the next 3 months, Tesla is expected to include the Driver Assist features into the Tesla Model S" - seems now, that probably Tesla has delivered Driver Assist much before than what we were expecting ," Chowdhry said.
Also an artcle from today's Investors Business Daily titled, "Tesla October Surprise: Is It Date With A Model?" regarding speculation the Elon Musk's cryptic tweet from yesterday " About time to unveil the D and something else" could be referring to the driver assist feature mentioned above.

TomTom and Bosch SoftTec team up to deliver advanced driver assistance systems

 Press Release

Amsterdam, 29 September 2014 – TomTom (TOM2) has today announced a partnership with Bosch to integrate its navigation technology and maps into Bosch’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
This partnership will enable Bosch to develop more advanced applications including intelligent cruise control, upcoming curve alerts, and jam tail warnings, which are all critical components for car manufacturers developing the latest standard in automated driving systems.

Having the most up-to-date map and navigation data is an essential component of ADAS, providing drivers with a more detailed view of the road ahead. TomTom’s smart map making technology enables Bosch to create more accurate Advanced Driving Applications with near real-time information.

“Combining TomTom’s navigation technology and maps with Bosch’s proven advanced driving systems enables car manufacturers to create a competitive solution for drivers,” said Jan Maarten de Vries, VP Automotive at TomTom. “They benefit from having the most accurate information of what’s happening on the road ahead, building an overall safer driving experience.”

"We make driving safer and more convenient by integrating TomTom's latest information with our decades of automotive expertise, thereby creating innovative solutions. This is how we make a cutting-edge contribution to safe driving," comments Torsten Mlasko, Managing Director at Bosch SoftTec GmbH.

A demo of the Advanced Driver Assistance System will be available at the TomTom booth during Paris Motor Show: Hall 3 booth 234.
