The German carmaker said in a statement it will draw on the suppliers' capabilities for enhanced partially automated driving, known as Level 2+ systems, for security and driver comfort in new high-volume models over the next few years. In 2022, Volkswagen signed up Bosch to co-develop software for different levels of automated driving.

The targeted features include hands-free driving under specific conditions, traffic jam assist, hazard detection, parking assist and driver monitoring.
