Bosch Showcases Autonomous Driving, Vehicle Motion Control, and Smart Cockpit Technologies at 2026 Beijing Auto Show

On April 24, 2026, Bosch showcased its mass-production-ready technological solutions in three key areas—intelligent driving, intelligent vehicle motion control, and smart cockpits—at the 19th Beijing International Automotive Exhibition under the theme “AI-Powered Intelligent Mobility.” In autonomous driving, Bosch exhibited its “one-stage end-to-end” advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) and an L3-level automated driving solution. The former has already been deployed in production vehicles such as the Exeed Sterra ET and Chery Exeed EX7, achieving outstanding results in multiple intelligent driving competitions across China. The latter supports speeds of up to 120 km/h and enables autonomous lane changes on highways and urban expressways. It features a vehicle-level redundancy architecture covering perception, computing, communication, power supply, braking, and steering, employing heterogeneous redundancy design to enhance safety. This L3 solution has already obtained an autonomous driving test license for high-speed and express roads in Wuxi. In the field of intelligent vehicle motion control, Bosch highlighted its VMM (Vehicle Motion Management) system, which coordinates braking, steering, powertrain, and suspension systems to achieve six-degree-of-freedom motion control. Its Automatic Emergency Steering (AES) function can identify risks and plan evasive paths within milliseconds and is already in mass production on a Chinese自主品牌 vehicle. Bosch is simultaneously advancing two technical pathways: hydraulic-by-wire braking (BWA+ESP®) and fully dry electronic mechanical braking (EMB). The EMB system has completed extreme-condition testing and is scheduled for mass production in China in 2026. In steer-by-wire technology, Bosch Huayu has partnered with multiple OEMs, with related products set to debut on new models from brands like IM Motors and XPeng. Additionally, Bosch announced a deepened collaboration with Chery to co-develop a 48V integrated vehicle system solution. For smart cockpits, Bosch unveiled its next-generation AI-powered smart cockpit platform, featuring on-device multimodal fusion capabilities that support wake-word-free voice interaction, interior and exterior visual perception, and SOA-based service invocation to proactively recognize and respond to occupant needs. The platform is compatible with both Qualcomm’s SA8397 and MediaTek’s CX-1 chipsets, with the CX-1-based version expected to enter mass production in Q4 2026. Bosch is also pushing forward cockpit-driving integration and plans to further incorporate chassis control functions to enable cross-domain synergy. Bosch emphasized that its technology strategy is accelerating toward a shift of “driven by China, empowering the world.” Currently, Bosch operates 38 production sites and 28 R&D centers in China, investing approximately RMB 6 billion annually. Over the next five years, it plans to invest RMB 10 billion in Suzhou specifically for R&D in intelligent driving and smart cockpits. Technologies pioneered in China—such as end-to-end intelligent driving and electric drive systems—are already being exported back to global markets. Leveraging its global network spanning over 60 countries, Bosch also supports Chinese automakers in navigating overseas certification and localized production challenges, facilitating the international launch of nearly 300 Chinese-brand vehicle models.
