That is why Bosch has concluded strategic partnerships with other companies and initiated numerous pilot and research projects. Such joint commitment covers many areas of automated driving and ranges from the development of innovative camera sensors and connected onboard systems through the generation of detailed , high-resolution digital maps to fully automated driving system for the city.
While some projects are based on technology already available today, such as sensors, others are clearly aligned toward the development of future technologies.
Find out more about the partnerships concluded, the resulting synergies, and how they help to get automated vehicles onto the road safely.
Safety during automated driving means more than just consistently avoiding accidents. Automated and connected vehicles must also be protected from external manipulation. Furthermore, it must be possible to handle a possible failure by a system of safety relevance at all times.
Bosch already offers effective solutions for both: redundant system components protecting against failures and a well-conceived security concept for protecting against manipulation.
For highly and fully automated driving, drivers no longer need to monitor the system. Then the safety of the occupants must be ensured by the system. Although the risk of failure of the system and individual components can be reduced to a minimum – it cannot be entirely eliminated. To safeguard the system against malfunctions, safety-critical sub-systems such as steering, braking, onboard power supply and data processing have a redundant design are controlled independently. When one system fails, another system is always is always capable of assuming the respective task and, for example, bringing the vehicle to a safe standstill in a critical situation.
Bosch already offers a redundant solution for safeguarding the braking system: independently of each other, the iBooster , an electromechanical brake booster, and the ESP® brake control system can decelerate the vehicle to a standstill without requiring intervention by the driver. The Servolectric® electric power steering from Bosch is also one of the key technologies for automated driving. The steering solution meets all safety requirements for highly automated driving.
In the event of a cyberattack on the automated vehicle, Bosch’s multilayered IT security concept protects the vehicle systems against unauthorized access and manipulation. The microcontrollers, control units, in-vehicle communication system, vehicle electrical system, and interfaces to the internet and cloud are all secured with dedicated security measures. Even if attackers do manage to defeat individual security mechanisms, they will not gain access to the entire system and its security-critical components. Furthermore, an attack detection software is updated continuously to keep the automated vehicle protected and to secure it against new threats too.
