“Sensors are the eyes and ears that let vehicles perceive their environment,” Hoheisel says. It is based on sensors featuring radar, video, and ultrasound technology, sensors Bosch has been manufacturing by the millions for many years. In the decade that follows, vehicles will be fully automated, capable of handling any situations that arise.īosch sensors are the car’s eyes and earsĪutomated driving affects every aspect of the car – powertrain, brakes, steering – and requires comprehensive systems expertise. “With Bosch highway pilots, cars will be driving automatically on highways by 2020, from entrance ramp to exit ramp,” Hoheisel predicts.

Bosch already has its sights on highly automated driving, in which drivers no longer have to constantly monitor the vehicle. Assistance systems are the cornerstone for automated driving, which will become established in a gradual process.

“With driver assistance systems, Bosch expects to generate sales of one billion euros in 2016,” Hoheisel says. At speeds of up to 38 miles per hour, the assistant brakes automatically in heavy traffic, accelerates, and keeps the car in its lane. Drivers can also reach their destinations safely and with minimum stress using the Bosch traffic jam assistant. Studies suggest that up to 72 percent of all rear-end collisions resulting in casualties could be avoided if all cars were fitted with the Bosch predictive emergency braking system. Relieving drivers of driving tasks in critical traffic situations can save lives. In 90 percent of cases, human error is the cause.įrom predictive emergency braking to traffic jam assistance Worldwide, an estimated 1.3 million traffic fatalities occur each year, and the numbers are rising. The motivation behind the development at Bosch is safety. The teams at the two locations can draw on a worldwide network of more than 5,000 Bosch engineers in the field of driver assistance systems. Bosch will be presenting its solutions at the Vehicle Intelligence Marketplace during the CES in Las Vegas (January 6-9, 2015).Īs one of the world’s largest providers of mobility solutions, Bosch has been working on automated driving since 2011 at two locations – Palo Alto, California, and Abstatt, Germany. Cars equipped with Bosch technology can already drive themselves in certain situations, such as in traffic jams or when parking. “Bosch is making science fiction reality, one step at a time,” says Dr. Dirk Hoheisel, who sits on the Bosch board of management.

Nearly 30 years later, automated driving is no longer just another TV fantasy.

Hollywood did it first: in the 1980s, the dream factory created the action series ‘Knight Rider’, featuring a speaking and – more importantly – self-driving Pontiac Firebird Trans Am named K.I.T.T. They have about 1,200 collaborators, and due to new technologies being manufactured at the facilities, they are planning a human capital growth to reach a total of 1,500 people, since the German firm has the goal of being the largest employer in the region. Regarding its production, in 2017 they recorded 9.2 million units in manufacturing, while there was an increase in 2018 of a total of 9.7 pieces. In the last years, due to the work demand, Bosch Aguascalientes has increased the plant surface, reaching the 13,000 square meters in production areas, engineering, and offices, with a total of 38,000 square meters.
“These brakes are 100 % programmable, the pedal can be changed, its sensation, more aggressive, sporty or soft, depending on the vehicle, we are already manufacturing since last year, it is used in futurist cars as well as in Tesla to a CR-V Honda, every time it is permeating more,” added Orlando Ramirez, plant manager at Bosch Aguascalientes.

The iBooster is a brake thought for new vehicles such as the Tesla, Audi or BMW, since it is completely electronic mechanic, although it has engines it is 100 % controlled by an Electronic Control Unit or Engine Control Unit (ECU,) better known as automotive computer, this way it can receive software online updates from the vehicle, in case there is an improvement, there is a ‘patch’ that sends it to the brake, therefore, it is updated and the problem corrected. The German plant is the first one to manufacture automated brakes iBooster Generacion 2, same that started to be industrialized in 2018 They also manufacture anti-block braking system (ABS G9) and electronic stability program (ESP,) same that were created by Bosch since the 70s, these products have achieved their main objective which is saving countless lives in highways. Given the demand for their products and the proximity with their customers, in 2004, Bosch began operations in Aguascalientes.
