1674 Fiat 1958 Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is to join 6419 BMW Group, 4243 Intel and in developing an autonomous driving platform for global deployment.


The cooperation allows the companies to leverage each other’s individual strengths, capabilities and resources to enhance the platform’s technology, increase development efficiency and reduce time to market.

The platform will be scalable for Level 3 to Level 4/5 automated driving and can be used by multiple automakers around the world while maintaining their unique brand identities.

The cooperation remains on-track to deploy 40 autonomous test vehicles on the road by 2017 year-end. It also expects to benefit from leveraging data and learning from the recently announced 100 Level 4 test vehicle fleet of 4279 Mobileye, an Intel Company, demonstrating the scale effect of this collaborative approach.
