Robert Bosch GmbH says it will continue to develop its own sensor technology for autonomous vehicles rather than buy it.
Board member Dirk Hoheisel, who oversees Bosch’s mobility services, tells reporters the mega-supplier is “investing a lot of money” in video technology and plans to maintain that strategy.
CEO Volkmar Denner notes that Bosch competes with Mobileye NV, which was acquired earlier this week by Intel Corp., in cameras, chips and software for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). At the same time, Bosch has partnered with Intel. Denner says his company will pursue possible collaborations with both companies in the future.
Bosch accounts for the bulk of the global ADAS sensor market, according to Reuters. The company has partnerships with tech companies such as Amazon, General Electric, IBM, Nvidia and SAP.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
