Geely’s New EV Features Mobileye Safety Tech

Chinese automaker Geely Auto Group unveiled its new premium electric vehicle (EV), the Zero Concept, which will feature advanced safety tech from Mobileye.

The new EV was designed by Lynk & Co, a Geely Auto Group brand, and was unveiled at Beijing Auto Show. The Zero Concept will feature Lynk & Co’s CoPilot solution powered by Mobileye SuperVision surround-view advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) with over-the-air update capabilities. 

Utilizing Mobileye’s SuperVision system based on its leading EyeQ5 system-on-chip (SoCs) alongside Geely’s accelerated production capabilities will enable Geely Auto Group to deliver a new suite of advanced driver-assist features to consumers beginning in fall 2021.

“Lynk & Co CoPilot powered by Mobileye’s SuperVision system will bring the most advanced vision-based driving-assistance technology to the production version of the Lynk & Co Zero Concept, making it soon to be one of the world’s leading premium vehicles with the most robust driver-assist features,” said An Conghui, Geely Auto Group chief executive officer. 

The collaboration between Geely and Mobileye comes amid a growing demand for electric vehicles in China and beyond, as well as increased interest in safer, cleaner transportation solutions, according to Mobileye. 

Lynk & Co CoPilot, powered by Mobileye’s SuperVision system, is supported by the use of surround-view cameras and other driving policy and navigation technologies powered by two EyeQ5 SoCs.

In addition to enabling high-level driver assistance in the Zero Concept EV over several years, Geely and Mobileye announced a high-volume ADAS agreement to equip a variety of Geely Auto Group makes and models with Mobileye vision-sensing technology. 

The long-term agreement will see multiple Geely Auto Group brands and vehicles outfitted with Mobileye-powered ADAS features such as automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist.
