62nd Bosch International Automotive Press Briefing
Mobility Solutions sector continues strong growth
Sales up 13 percent in the first quarter of 2015
 Sales once again growing significantly faster than the market
 Unit sales of ESP, diesel systems, and gasoline systems each increased
20 percent in 2014
 Driver assistance business growing by one-third annually
The Bosch Group’s largest business sector, Mobility Solutions, continues to grow
strongly. After adjusting for exchange-rate effects, the sector’s sales grew
7 percent in the first quarter of 2015. Nominal sales growth was as high as
13 percent1). “Technologically and internationally, our position is so good that we
will again grow significantly faster than the market this year,” said Dr. Rolf
Bulander, the business sector’s chairman, at the Bosch International Automotive
Press Briefing in Boxberg, Germany (May 19 - 21, 2015). In 2014, the business
volume of Mobility Solutions grew 8.9 percent, and thus more than twice as fast
as global automotive production. Unit sales of important systems such as the
ESP anti-skid system, gasoline direct injection systems, and diesel direct
injection systems each grew by some 20 percent. In the future, Bosch will also
increasingly offer solutions that govern the way cars and other means of
transport interact. “We are rethinking personal mobility, and moving toward a
multimodal concept encompassing bikes, trains, and buses,” Bulander said,
explaining this new goal. “Bosch as a company is looking beyond the hood.”
Electromobility will make diesel and gasoline vehicles even more efficient
On this path to the mobility of the future, Bosch is already achieving success, not
just technologically but also commercially. The supplier of technology and
services is pursuing three development paths, toward driving that is electric,
automated, and connected. “Bosch is making good progress in all three,”
Bulander said. In his view, the combustion engine will remain the basis for
efficient mobility well into the next decade, even if the powertrain is electrified.
Over the next five years, Bosch engine-related technology can reduce the

consumption of diesel engines by 10 percent, and that of gasoline engines by
nearly 20 percent.
In conjunction with electromobility, the combustion engine will become even
more efficient. By 2025, 15 percent of all new vehicles will feature at least a
hybrid powertrain. For this combination of electric motor and combustion engine,
Bosch’s wide-ranging expertise means it is is excellently equipped. Of the
30 production orders the company has already carried out relating to powertrain
electrification, ten alone are plug-in hybrid powertrains for premium vehicles.
Over long distances, these vehicles run on diesel or gasoline, but can run in allelectric mode in city driving. “We have the experience it takes to turn an
alternative powertrain into a success story,” Bulander said. “It’s what we did with
diesel, and it’s what we want to achieve with the electric powertrain, too.”
Automated driving can cut accident figures by up to a third
As the industry moves toward automated driving, the market for driver assistance
systems is already expanding. In this market, Bosch is increasing its sales by
one-third each year. Last year was the first time that the company sold more than
50 million environment sensors for driver assistance systems. And in 2015, unit
sales of radar and video sensors will double, as they did in 2014. Bosch is the
global market leader for radar sensors, which are found in systems such as
adaptive cruise control. This year, a series of new systems will go into production
at the company. These assistance systems help drivers in traffic jams, when
taking evasive action, and when parking by remote control. By 2020, the aim is to
produce a highway pilot for automated driving on freeways. In the view of the
Bosch management board member Dr. Dirk Hoheisel, this is a decisive
development step: “With this system, we will make the transition from partly to
highly automated driving. Drivers will become passengers. That will mean greater
comfort, and above all greater safety.” According to forecasts by Bosch accident
researchers, increasing automation can significantly reduce accident figures
even further – by up to one-third in Germany alone.
Some 2,000 engineers are working on further developing driver assistance
systems at Bosch – a good 700 more than two years ago. Following the
acquisition of ZF Lenksysteme (now known as Robert Bosch Automotive
Steering), the Stuttgart company is in an even better position to take automated
driving forward. To quote Bulander: “Bosch technology will enable the cars of the
future not only to autonomously accelerate and brake, but also steer.”

Connected driving means a growing service business
The internet will play a pivotal role in the development of the mobility of the
future. Even now, it provides real-time traffic news, offering information on things
such as accidents and construction zones, or about a traffic jam that starts just
around the next bend. Such information is an essential condition for highly
automated driving functions. Moreover, drivers can find and reserve vacant
charge spots, and pay for the electricity, over the internet. “Connectivity is the
key to the success of electrified and automated driving,” said the Bosch
management board member Dr. Markus Heyn. In addition, connected driving is
leading to new, beneficial services. For example, the transmission of ECU data
can serve as the basis for preventive maintenance and tips for fuel saving.
Services such as these support the fleet management of leasing and insurance
companies. On the Bosch Drivelog mobility portal, drivers can also use such
services direct. For this, they need a smartphone app and a connector for
reading out the ECU data. All in all, it is expected that some 200,000 vehicles will
be web-enabled and thus able to access these Bosch services. To quote
Bulander: “Connected driving has left the pilot phase. For Bosch, it is becoming a
flourishing service business.”
At the same time, Bosch is connecting diverse forms of transport. In Bulander’s
words, these mobility solutions are also intended for multimodal transport: “We
are offering new products that go beyond the car, such as services for urban
mobility.” One example is the software solution that Bosch has developed for the
Stuttgart Services project. Thanks to this software, one chip card is all that is
needed for car-sharing, bike-sharing, train and bus travel, as well as for
admission to amenities such as swimming pools or libraries. For Bulander, this is
a “sneak peek at the transportation services of tomorrow.”
Moreover, Bosch already has prototype developments that connect cars and
smart homes. In concrete terms, this means that the navigation system instructs
the central heating to warm up the house in good time before the vehicle’s
arrival. “Whether for houses or for cars, Bosch creates technology that is
‘Invented for life’,” Bulander said. “With the versatility of our expertise, our
prospects for developing new mobility solutions are excellent.”

Automated driving at Bosch
Driver assistance systems are the cornerstone of automated driving,
which will become established in a gradual process. Bosch has already
set its sights on highly automated driving, in which drivers no longer have
to constantly monitor their vehicle. With the Bosch highway pilot, cars will
be driving themselves on freeways by 2020, from entrance ramp to exit
ramp. In the decade that follows, vehicles will become fully automated,
capable of handling any situations that arise.

Ladies and gentlemen,
It doesn’t always have to be the engine that gets the most attention at the
Bosch automotive press briefing. Allow me to welcome you to the 62nd such
event here at the Boxberg proving ground. And indeed, we’re giving our attention not just to the technology under the hood, but also to road traffic.
Traffic that is regimented according to odd and even days, as in both Paris
and Beijing. Traffic that moves at 19 kilometers per hour, as it does in
London, or at a staggering five kilometers per hour, as in Mumbai. This suggests that we need to rethink personal mobility, at least in big cities, and
move toward a multimodal concept encompassing bikes, trains, and buses.
That’s exactly why Bosch as a company is looking beyond the hood. We can
summarize how the way we see ourselves has changed in two sentences:

We are a systems supplier – and that already encompasses much more
than braking and injection systems.

And we supply systems for mobility as a whole – including solutions for
connecting cars, other modes of transport, and infrastructure.
Against this backdrop, Bosch decided to rename its Automotive Technology
business sector Mobility Solutions. The new name says it all. That’s the point
I’d like to pursue in my opening statement. After a quick overview of our
current business situation, I’ll sketch out our view of the future of mobility
and then show how our technologies are the logical answer to that. We are
already making good progress on the necessary solutions – and I’ll leave you
with some first impressions of them at the end of my presentation. True to our
strategic imperative “Invented for life,” we want to improve the efficiency not
just of engines but also of traffic in general. Only then can we truly see ourselves as a supplier of solutions for the mobility of the future.

The business situation: strong growth continues
First, let’s take a look at our current business. Bosch’s Mobility Solutions
business sector generated sales of 33.3 billion euros in 2014. This was
equivalent to 8.9 percent growth – more than double the growth in worldwide
vehicle production. Sales of important products such as the ESP electronic
stability program, gasoline injection, and diesel direct injection systems each
grew by some 20 percent. We experienced particularly strong growth in sales
of our clean diesel systems in China – our contribution to making the air in
Beijing and Shanghai cleaner.
In 2015, we are continuing on this growth path with Mobility Solutions. As of
February, we are also consolidating Bosch Automotive Steering, our steering
systems business. On a like-for-like basis, we have already been able to
increase real sales growth in the first quarter of this year by 7 percent. As a
result of current exchange-rate effects, nominal growth was considerably
higher, at 13 percent. Our Mobility Solutions business sector brings together
a worldwide network of 126 manufacturing sites and 59 engineering centers.
It has a total workforce of some 205,000 associates. Of these, more than
39,500 work in research and development. That’s the team that is working on
the mobility of tomorrow.
Future mobility: it doesn’t always have to be the car
But where are cars and traffic heading in the coming years? At first glance,
everything looks positive and the direction clearly set. When it comes to car
driving, we see a congruence between societal and technological trends. For
example, fuel efficiency is in the interest of climate protection. But forecasts
can be quite uncertain – a truth that the economic and financial crisis clearly
demonstrated once again a few years ago. It would be negligent to believe
that market developments will be linear.
To predict the basic outline of long-term change is only one half of the story.
The other half is to prepare for volatility in our markets. How can we do both?
3 of 8
RF00251
Only by thinking in terms of scenarios. That’s why at Bosch we’ve drawn up a
series of pictures of the future. I’ll compare two of them here:

On the one hand, there’s the globalization of driving enjoyment. Never
mind all the rules and regulations, having your own car is still a lot of fun.
So personal mobility will spread further, while the internet will further
enhance the driving experience, for instance with music from the cloud.
This means that in advanced economies, vehicle demand will be driven
by innovations, while in emerging markets it will be driven by the adoption
of Western standards of consumerism. In China, there are currently just
50 cars per 1,000 inhabitants, while in the European Union it’s a good
500. Under the “fun for everyone” scenario, these numbers would converge.

On the other hand, there’s ecological globalization. This sees the world
going green – either because climate protection policies are adopted right
around the planet, or because megacities all over the world place limits
on personal transport. The result is a further tightening of emissions and
efficiency regulations for cars in both advanced economies and emerging
markets. We are already seeing countries such as China and India following the European model and tightening their emissions limits. Under the
“green world” scenario, personal mobility will not only be regulated more
strictly, it will increasingly be complemented by other modes of transport.
This is reflected in real planning: for instance, China wants to build
170 new local public transportation systems such as subways and light
rail by 2030.
Electrified, automated, connected: complementary developments
These two pictures of the future stand at the two extreme ends of the scale:
one an emotive perspective on car driving, the other ecological. And yet the
technological answers to both are identical. No matter whether personal mobility continues to grow worldwide or becomes more tightly regulated – either
4 of 8
RF00251
way, powertrains will be electrified and driving will become automated and
connected. The reasons for all three developments are easy to summarize:

First, electromobility will be promoted with the same legislation that has
led to advancements for the combustion engine, namely stricter efficiency
and emissions regulations. But this is more than an obligatory piece of
green policy, because it also enhances driving enjoyment. For instance,
electromobility delivers excellent torque for acceleration even at low engine speeds.

Second, automated driving makes road traffic more efficient and above all
safer. It avoids human mistakes, which are the root cause of nine out of
ten accidents today. Yet driver assistance can already relieve the burden
on drivers in stop-and-go traffic, in other words, when driving is no fun.
And a car with an autopilot provides a whole new driving experience – it
becomes your home on the move.

Third, connected driving, too, can help to find savings. At first glance, we
might think the internet’s greatest impact would be felt in improving mobile
infotainment. But it is also capable of delivering real-time information with
which to avoid traffic jams or adjust hybrid vehicles’ charging strategy
depending on the current state of traffic.
Whether electrification, automation, or connectivity – all three development
paths make personal mobility both sustainable and appealing. That means
they are also compatible with contrasting pictures of the future – with both the
“green world” and “fun for everyone.” But more than that: the three paths
complement each other. Drivers will be more at ease if they know they can
use the internet to find and reserve not only the nearest parking space, but
also the nearest charge spot. Driving becomes even safer once automation
allows vehicles to warn each other of intersections with limited visibility or
congestion ahead. Our developments do more than fit the future, they interconnect with each other in a coherent way.

RF00251
The road to the future leads to commercial success
But how can we make headway on these roads to the future? Bosch is
already achieving success, not just technologically but also commercially.
This, too, is something I can point out for you on all three development paths:

First, electromobility is coming – whatever reservations people may have.
This is reflected in the spread of infrastructure as much as by progress in
the technology. By 2020 we want to halve battery costs; by then, some
three million charge spots will have been installed around the world – ten
times as many as in 2013. This gives the market ample room for growth in
the next decade. By 2025, 15 percent of all new vehicles will feature an
electrified powertrain. But it also means that well into the next decade, the
combustion engine will remain the basis for efficient mobility. We will
continue to improve this basis, particularly as we are confident we can
reduce fuel consumption by a further 10 percent for diesel engines, and
by a maximum of 20 percent for gasoline. And in combination with electric
motors, the combustion engine has yet to reach the peak of its efficiency.
Particularly where this hybridization of the powertrain is concerned,
Bosch has broad-based expertise, and this is giving rise to a host of solutions. We have already completed 30 production orders for electrifying
driving, ten of them for premium plug-in hybrid vehicles. In the mid-sized
segment, we’re working on an affordable entry-level hybrid; here we have
an order for large-scale volume production. Bosch has the experience to
turn an alternative powertrain into a success story. It’s what we did with
diesel, and it’s what we want to achieve with the electric powertrain, too.

Second, automated driving is coming via a market that is already expanding rapidly: the market for driver assistance systems. Bosch’s sales in this
market are currently growing by a third each year. Our sales of radar and
video sensors will once again double in 2015, as they did in 2014. We are
the world leader in radar sensors. Last year was the first time that we sold
more than 50 million sensors all told for driver assistance systems. But
development doesn’t stop there: this year, we’re starting production of a
6 of 8
RF00251
range of new assistance systems covering remote parking, traffic jams,
evasive action, and turning against oncoming traffic. By 2020, we want
to produce a highway pilot for automated driving on freeways. Some
2,000 developers are working on functions such as these at Bosch – a
good 700 more than two years ago. Our acquisition of ZF Lenksysteme
has once again improved our prospects. Bosch technology will enable the
cars of the future not only to autonomously accelerate and brake, but also
steer.

Third, connected driving has already progressed beyond the pilot-project
stage. Collecting and transmitting ECU data and driving profiles and then
using these to generate appointments for preventive maintenance or
tips for how to use less fuel – by the end of this year, Bosch will have
connected some 200,000 vehicles for these functions alone. In this way,
we are helping leasing and insurance companies to manage vehicle fleets
– as well as supporting services for drivers on our own mobility portal,
Drivelog. In addition, we’re developing completely new solutions for urban
transport. One starting point is the micromechanical sensors that we
employ in systems such as ESP. We are web-enabling them and fitting
them unobtrusively into parking spaces. There they can detect whether a
space is in use – resulting in a real-time online parking map. This will
considerably reduce the time spent on looking for parking spaces, which
accounts for at least 30 percent of urban driving. At the same time, we’re
connecting the various modes of transport. Stuttgart Services is a pilot
project offering a single chip card that can be used to access car and bike
sharing services, trains, and buses, but that also serves as an entry pass
for swimming pools or libraries – and we developed the software solution
for it. It’s a sneak peek at the transportation services of tomorrow.

RF00251
New customers, new services: Bosch is expanding its business
I would like to close for now by looking at these examples. It is precisely the
topic of connectivity that shows how broad a reach our mobility solutions now
have.

On the one hand, new products that go beyond the car, such as urban
transportation services.

On the other, new customers that go beyond the automotive industry; in
the future, it could be all road users.
But even within the automotive industry, our customer base has broadened to
include the new entrants in California. However cars and transportation are
changing, Bosch is playing an agile part in shaping those changes. And we’re
not going to leave it at that. It is common knowledge that Bosch’s versatility
goes beyond cars and transportation. That means we can connect vehicles
with smart homes – so our car’s navigation system can instruct our home’s
heating system to warm up the living room before our arrival. In short, whether for houses or for cars, Bosch creates technology that is “Invented for life”.
We can connect them all, and this gives rise to a better quality of life. With the
versatility of our expertise, our prospects for the mobility of the future are
excellent.

Powertrain of the future
Bosch forecast: electrification will take combustion
engines to new heights
 Some 15 percent of new vehicles to have at least a hybrid powertrain
by 2025
 Clean combustion engines for Euro 6, China 4, and U.S. LEV emissions
standards
 Dr. Rolf Bulander: “Bits and bytes are making cars more efficient”
Downsizing, hybrids, electric vehicles – in the future anyone taking a look under
the hood is likely to find much more than a conventional gasoline or diesel
engine. Bosch is demonstrating just that at the 62nd International Automotive
Press Briefing in Boxberg, Germany. But while a lot is changing, the internalcombustion (IC) engine will still continue to play a major role over the next
decade. In five years’ time, far over 90 percent of new vehicles will still be
powered at least partially by fossil fuels. This is particularly true of markets such
as China and the United States. “Modern combustion technology is the bedrock
of efficient mobility,” says Dr. Rolf Bulander, chairman of the Bosch business
sector Mobility Solutions and member of the board of management of Robert
Bosch GmbH.
We are also seeing the beginning of a transition toward electromobility: Bosch
expects that in 2025 around 15 percent of all new vehicles built worldwide
will have at least a hybrid powertrain, while in Europe more than a third of all
new cars will be at least partly electrically powered. Bulander is convinced:
“Electrification will take combustion engines to new heights.” Vehicles are
becoming cleaner and more efficient – and the additional electrical powertrain will
provide extra driving enjoyment.
Internal-combustion engine as the bedrock for efficient mobility
Modern IC engines have made significant technical advances in recent years, as
a look at Europe clearly shows. Since 2000, the fleet CO2 emissions for cars in
Europe have sunk by a quarter – even though vehicle performance and weight

increased over the same period. Drivers are noticing this improvement at the
pumps: standard fuel consumption for compact cars with a gasoline engine is
nowadays often under 7 l/100 km, and less than 5 l/100 km for diesel engines.
Still, it is no longer enough for powertrains simply to be fuel-efficient – they
need to become even cleaner as well. One need only look at stringent emission
legislation, such as Euro 6, China 4, or LEV in the United States. Making
powertrains as clean as they are efficient calls for particularly sophisticated
technology. Bosch is showcasing a number of new products designed to achieve
this. For gasoline engines, for example, there is gasoline direct injection at a
pressure of 350 bar in place of the previous 200 bar. The higher pressure means
the fuel is more finely atomized, significantly reducing particulates.
Bosch is also paying particular attention to the ongoing development of the
diesel engine. “Diesel is a key technology for achieving fleet CO2 emission
targets. Particularly in Europe, they aren’t achievable without it,” says Bulander.
In order to improve the modern clean diesel still further, Bosch is applying a
systems approach. One of the vital technologies in this regard is Denoxtronic,
which can reduce nitrogen oxide by up to 95 percent in real driving cycles. What
is more, systematically combining cleaner combustion, optimized exhaust-gas
recirculation, and exhaust-gas treatment significantly reduces emissions.
Hybrids: electrification will take combustion engines to new heights
When it comes to big, heavy vehicles, however, merely optimizing the IC engine
is no longer enough. It is Bosch’s belief that the EU’s stringent fleet CO2 targets
for 2021 means that hybrid powertrains will be available for every SUV on the
market. That is why Bosch has begun to invest today. Each year, the technology
and service provider invests almost 400 million euros in electromobility
development. There are currently around 30 vehicle models in production that
feature Bosch technology – in the U.S., in China, and at German premium
manufacturers. Bosch components can be found in Porsche’s hybrid sports
cars, in Mercedes hybrid models, as well as in vehicles such as the BMW i3
with Range Extender. Particularly in hybrids and plug-in-hybrids, Bosch sees
considerable future market potential. In 2020, over 9.5 million of them are
expected to roll off the production lines.
This goes to show that electrification is not a competitor to the IC engine,
but rather complements it. Bosch’s new boost recuperation system is a prime
example of this. The entry-level 48-volt hybrid enables a reduction in CO2
emissions of around 7 percent in the driving cycle for compact vehicles. This is
mainly achieved through the recuperation of braking energy. A coasting function
that switches off the engine at high speeds by means of the start-stop
Page 2 of 4
PI8903
mechanism can increase fuel savings even more. The 48-volt hybrid also
features a boost function – which goes to show that also in entry-level hybrids,
fuel savings go hand in hand with driving enjoyment. When drivers step on
the accelerator pedal, the electric motor supports the IC engine with up to
150 newton meters of torque.
Electromobility: electric cars are good but connected electric cars are
better
High-voltage solutions are even more dynamic, since electric motors supply the
full amount of torque right from the start. Still, if electric cars are to lose their
niche status over the coming years, the vehicles must become significantly
cheaper. Battery technology is key to this process. “Bosch anticipates that by
2020 batteries will offer twice the energy density for half the present cost,” says
Bulander. To research the next generation of lithium-ion batteries, Bosch has
partnered with GS Yuasa and Mitsubishi Corporation to establish the Lithium
Energy and Power joint venture. Here, the partners are pooling their strengths:
GS Yuasa is applying its experience in cell optimization so that a battery with
a higher energy density and increased range can be produced. Bosch is
contributing its expertise in complex battery management and system integration.
In addition to this, increasing internet connectivity will make electric vehicles a
more practicable everyday option: “Electric cars are good but connected electric
cars are better,” says Bulander. This belief is underscored by a new smartphone
app from Bosch Software Innovations. The Bosch Group’s software and systems
unit has developed an app that makes it significantly easier to reserve the charge
spots of different providers and pay for the electricity. Up to now, a different
customer card was required for each provider. Now all drivers need to recharge
anywhere in Germany is a smartphone, the app, and a PayPal account.
Connectivity in electrified powertrains is going even further. After all, only
connected vehicles can fully exploit the potential offered by electrification. “Bits
and bytes are making cars more efficient,” says Bulander. One example of this
is the connected electronic horizon solution, a Bosch technology that will in the
future provide essential traffic information about mobile construction sites,
traffic jams, and accidents in real time. This will be highly beneficial for internal
combustion engines and electric powertrains alike, since the extremely accurate
data will serve to improve existing functions, such as start-stop coasting. At the
same time, plug-in hybrids can utilize the technology to implement a predictive
operating strategy. These are the sorts of technologies that will again reduce
CO2 emissions by a double-digit percentage in powertrains that are already very
efficient.

The car that thinks and acts
Bosch is creating the technical prerequisites for
automated driving
 “Making the transition from partially to highly automated driving is going to be
a big step,” said Dr. Dirk Hoheisel, member of the Bosch board of
management
 Automotive Steering adds electric power steering to the Bosch automated
driving portfolio
 Increasing automation can tackle the root causes of 37 percent of the road
accidents that happen in Germany alone
 Legal framework must keep pace with technological developments
At Bosch, the development of automated driving is advancing in leaps and
bounds, and the engineers have now reached a critical point. “Making the transition from partially to highly automated driving is going to be a big step, in both
technological and legal terms,” said member of the Bosch board of management
Dr. Dirk Hoheisel at the 62nd International Automotive Press Briefing in Boxberg,
Germany (May 19–21, 2015). He described how, in highly automated driving,
automated systems assume total control of the vehicle for temporary periods.
“The driver becomes the passenger,” Hoheisel explained. This, he said, calls for
fundamental changes. Aside from the vehicle architecture, we are seeing crucial
shifts in the way drivers and vehicles communicate with each other. Highly automated vehicles will also be connected to a server. “Only manufacturers and
suppliers with in-depth systems expertise will be successful in making headway
in this domain,” Hoheisel said.
Bosch has all the technologies needed for automated driving
Delegating responsibility for driving entirely to the vehicle places particular
demands on safety-critical systems such as the brakes and steering. To ensure
maximum system stability in the event of the failure of one of these components,
redundancy must be built into the system as a safeguard. Bosch already has

such a solution for the brakes. In this instance, both the iBooster electromechanical brake booster and ESP brake control system can independently brake the
vehicle without the driver having to intervene. This combination of Bosch solutions provides the necessary redundancy; both are indispensable components in
any automated vehicle. “Bosch is creating the technical prerequisites for automated driving,” Hoheisel said. All the more so because Bosch has now added
electric power steering to the portfolio thanks to its new Automotive Steering
division. “Bosch has all the technologies needed for automated driving – not just
the powertrain, brakes, and steering, but also sensors, navigation systems, and
connectivity solutions,” Hoheisel added.
Highly automated vehicles rely on environmental information – information that
goes beyond what sensors can gather. For instance, they need real-time traffic
data on congestion and accidents. This can be achieved only by connecting the
vehicle to a server. Bosch developed its connected horizon solution to enable
exactly this. This system enables a dynamic preview of the upcoming route and
corresponding adjustments to driving strategy. “The connected horizon is what
allows automated vehicles to think ahead,” Hoheisel said. This is beneficial for
the safety and convenience of the driving experience. For instance, connected
vehicles are warned in advance of danger spots ahead of a blind bend or hill top
and can ease off the accelerator in preparation. Bosch is also giving the provision
of real-time traffic data a major boost with its myDriveAssist smartphone app.
When the app is active, it uses the smartphone’s camera to detect speed limits
along the way and sends the information to a server. The data is then verified
before being released to other road users.
People still at the center of automated driving
Whatever the technology, Bosch still places people firmly at the center – and
that includes automated driving. “Assistance systems support drivers in critical
situations. Automated driving functions relieve them in standard situations, such
as freeway driving,” Hoheisel said. He stressed how important it therefore is
that drivers trust the system. “Trust builds as long as vehicles keep the driver
informed about what they are doing in a way that is easy to understand,”
Hoheisel explained. This task falls to the human machine interface (HMI). But
when it comes to information supply, less is sometimes more. “Drivers need the
right information at the right time,” Hoheisel said, describing the basics of a good
HMI.
One crucial aspect of highly automated driving is the transfer of driving responsibility from the driver to the vehicle – and vice versa. In Bosch prototypes, the HMI
will notify the driver whenever automated driving is a viable option for a portion of
the journey. To activate or deactivate the automated driving mode, the driver has
Page 2 of 4
PI8904
to simultaneously press and hold two buttons on the steering wheel for a period
of three seconds. This eliminates the possibility of accidentally activating the
automated driving mode. The HMI also provides information about automated
vehicle maneuvers. For instance, it warns drivers in advance that it intends to
change lane, so that they can monitor the maneuver based on a virtual bird’s eye
view. “The HMI adds greatly to the fascination of automated driving technology,”
Hoheisel said. Managing the various functions and information calls for innovative operating and display concepts. Here, Bosch already offers appealing HMI
display solutions with its freely programmable instrument clusters and head-up
displays.
Increasing automation makes roads safer
Bosch’s motivation for developing automated driving is and remains safety on
the roads. The UN estimates that each year some 1.3 million people worldwide
are killed in road accidents. In 90 percent of cases, the accident can be attributed
to driver error. This means that relieving the driver of control of the vehicle in
complex or monotonous situations can save lives. “By increasing automation, we
can tackle the root causes of 37 percent of the road accidents that happen in
Germany alone,” Hoheisel said. This, he said, has been a great motivation for the
two Bosch teams working on automated driving since 2011, one in Abstatt near
Heilbronn and one in Palo Alto in Silicon Valley. They are supported by some
2,000 Bosch driver assistance developers worldwide.
“Most of the key technical challenges that automated driving presents will have
been solved by the end of the decade,” Hoheisel predicted. By 2020, vehicles
using Bosch technology could drive themselves all the way from the highway
on-ramp to the highway off-ramp, as Bosch prototypes have already been doing
on freeways in both Germany (A81) and the United States (I280) since the
beginning of 2013. This relies, however, on the legal framework keeping pace
with technological developments. Currently, there is a legal constraint in the form
of the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic of 1968, which dictates that drivers
must retain control of their vehicle at all times. In other words, highly automated
driving is currently not permitted. Nevertheless, there are signs of impending
changes to the regulations that bind Germany and many other countries. One
scenario would involve allowing automated driving so long as the driver was able
to override or disable it at any time. Hoheisel concluded by saying: “We are
optimistic that policymakers and associations will soon take steps in the right
direction.”

Bosch is making the car an active part of the internet
Connectivity as the key to electrification
and automation
 Comprehensive connectivity expertise for the car – and beyond
 A wealth of services for business and private customers
 Bosch ensures transparency in data handling
 Connectivity achieves breakthrough for electrified and automated driving
These days, it is hard to imagine life without the internet – and soon that will be
true in the car as well, since Bosch is making the car an active part of the internet.
“Connectivity is the key to electrified and automated driving,” said Dr. Markus
Heyn, a member of the Bosch board of management, at the 62nd International
Automotive Press Briefing in Boxberg, Germany. Connected vehicles are safer,
more comfortable, and more efficient. Online connectivity means, for instance,
that drivers have access to information about congestion, black ice, and accidents, as well as where to find available parking spaces and charge spots – which
they can reserve and pay for straightaway. Cars are also turning into digital media
hubs as Bosch facilitates continuous access to online music services, social networks, and a wide range of smartphone apps.
Connectivity expertise for the car – and beyond
Bosch is a technology and service provider better positioned than almost any
other company in the world to exploit the possibilities of the internet of things.
“Our connectivity business relies on the 3S’s: sensors, software, and services,”
Heyn explained. The result is connected solutions for smart homes, energy,
industry, and of course mobility. This lays the groundwork for innovative functions.
In one current test scenario, for instance, engineers use the car’s navigation
system to automatically turn up the heating at home shortly before the vehicle
gets there.
The car of the future is electrified, automated – and connected
Bosch anticipates that around 15 percent of all new vehicles will be electrified as
early as 2025. It also expects that by 2020, cars will be able to drive themselves

from the highway on-ramp to the highway off-ramp. Both trends rely heavily on
connected solutions. For instance, drivers of electric cars can conveniently locate
and reserve charge spots and pay for the electricity they use. “Apps such as
Charge&Pay for Mercedes-Benz allow drivers to enjoy electrified driving without
having to worry so much about range,” Heyn said. Rapidly transferred traffic data
also enables an extended electronic horizon function, which allows connected
vehicles to anticipate what is coming around the next few bends. Electric vehicles
can use this system to optimize recuperation and charge levels. The information
also contributes to vehicle safety. For instance, if several vehicles report intervention by their ESP at the same location, the system can refer to the weather data
and conclude there is black ice present, warning the drivers following on behind.
In addition, information on speed limits at temporary construction sites or a
warning about congestion ahead allows automated vehicles to anticipate events
and ease off the gas in plenty of time. Heyn summed it up in no uncertain terms:
“A connected car is always the better car.”
Bosch mySPIN solution brings smartphones and vehicles together
To connect the car to the internet, Bosch pursues two main approaches. First of
all, it makes use of the driver’s smartphone: Bosch’s mySPIN integrated solution
allows Android and iOS devices to link up to the vehicle’s infotainment system.
A wide range of apps can then be conveniently operated from the vehicle’s
central display. Second, Bosch offers the connectivity control unit (CCU) as a
command center within the vehicle. The CCU communicates via a cellular module
equipped with its own SIM card and can determine the vehicle’s position using
GPS, if desired. It is available both as an original equipment model and as a
retrofit solution, which can be connected to the vehicle’s electrical system via the
on-board diagnostics interface.
The CCU sends vehicle operating data to a cloud server, unlocking a variety of
potential services. It is here that the Bosch IoT Suite software platform excels.
This suite developed by the subsidiary Bosch Software Innovations brings
devices, users, and companies together to make it as easy as possible to offer
attractive services – including those from Bosch.
Trust is built on safety and security
Vehicle connectivity is already in full swing. Constant growth in the computing
power of ECUs, the ongoing spread of high-speed mobile telecommunications
worldwide, and the growing possibility to release secured updates over the air will
unlock new opportunities for an ever broader range of functions. But technology
alone cannot guarantee success. “Only safe and secure functions will win drivers’
trust,” Heyn said, pointing to the three aspects of the security debate. First of all,
functional safety ensures the safe operation of the desired application and defines
Page 2 of 4
PI8905
the procedure for safely deactivating systems if a fault occurs in one of the
components. Data security, meanwhile, is about protecting against unauthorized
external access. Here, Bosch relies on a multi-tier approach to both hardware
and software so that it can maintain the high level of security it offers today in a
future of increasingly connected vehicles. In this, Bosch sees a clear need for
both technical and process standards, along the lines of the ISO 26262 functional
safety standard. Finally, there is data protection as a legal consideration, which is
defined in laws and regulations. “What we need is comprehensive European data
protection regulation, so that a functioning digital market can establish itself in
Europe,” Heyn said, adding that Bosch guarantees transparency in how it handles
all data. Outlining Bosch’s basic stance, he emphasized that “customers have to
be able to decide for themselves how and to what extent their data is used.”
Services for business customers cut servicing costs and times
Connected fleet management is a service aimed at fleet operators. The solution
uses the CCU to securely transmit journey and service data to Bosch servers for
analysis. This cuts operating costs and reduces time out of service. Companies
can use the processed data to help plan operations, leasing contracts, and
service and repair visits with more precision.
In the future, Bosch will put augmented reality to use in workshops, enabling a
sort of “x-ray view” under the hood. When a worker takes a tablet computer and
holds it under the hood, the tablet’s camera image is overlaid with comprehensive
additional information and repair instructions for precisely the area being displayed. The mechatronics technician can manipulate the overlaid objects via
the touchscreen and access additional information. This makes poring through
service manuals a thing of the past. A Bosch server provides all the detailed data
online.
Connected components enable predictive diagnostics
Bosch is increasingly drawing on Industry 4.0 techniques in developing and
manufacturing its products. The goal is to connect each component so that it can
seamlessly communicate manufacturing, test, and operating data about itself.
This can then be used even once the product has left the Bosch plant. To take a
current example of preventive diagnostics, it is already possible to use a connectivity control unit to gather operating data from a diesel injector throughout its
service life and monitor its operation online from the cloud. If the data indicates
signs of wear or a change in operating conditions, a modified version of the
operating map can be automatically installed, likewise via the internet. It is also
possible to immediately arrange a service visit and order a replacement part, if
the customer so desires. Following analysis, the defective diesel injector can be
Page 3 of 4
PI8905
restored to full working order. This analysis data also provides important information that can be utilized in the development of future product generations and
to optimize the manufacturing process.

Expertise in innovative drive technology
An electrifying combination: hybrid technology from
Porsche and Bosch
Stuttgart - With the 918 Spyder, the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the Cayenne S
E-Hybrid, Porsche was the first car manufacturer in the world to offer three plugin hybrid models. Among the suppliers Porsche relies on for the innovative drive
system is Bosch. The possibilities offered by the combination of an internal
combustion engine and an electric motor will impressively be demonstrated by
the Porsche hybrid vehicles at the 62nd International Automotive Press Briefing
at the Boxberg test track, starting May 19.
"We promised to redefine driving pleasure, efficiency and performance with the
918 Spyder. We kept our word, and in so doing repositioned hybrid technology",
says Wolfgang Hatz, Member of the Executive Board - Research and
Development at Porsche AG. The Porsche 918 Spyder1) was the first globally
road-legal car to complete the 20.6 kilometre lap of the North Loop of the
Nürburgring in less than seven minutes. At exactly six minutes and 57 seconds,
this super sports car with plug-in hybrid drive beat the existing record by
14 seconds. Porsche also integrated the knowledge gained from the development of the technology demonstrator into the electrification of the rest of its
model range. The Panamera S E-Hybrid2) and Cayenne S E-Hybrid3) round off
the product range and make Porsche the global market leader for hybrid cars in
the premium segment.
"Porsche and Bosch have teamed up to bring electrification to electrifying sports
cars together. Electricity gives added driving pleasure and efficiency", says
Dr. Rolf Bulander, Chairman of the Business Sector Mobility Solutions at Bosch.
For the three plug-in models made by Porsche, Bosch supplies the power
electronics, the battery pack, the electric motors for the Cayenne and Panamera
and the electric motor installed on the front axle of the 918 Spyder.

918 Spyder: a unique combination of performance and efficiency
The project definition for the 918 Spyder's development team was to build the
super sports car for the next decade with a highly efficient and high performance
hybrid drive. The completely new development, which logically started from
scratch on a blank piece of paper, allows a new concept without having to make
any concessions. The whole car was designed around the hybrid drive. The
918 Spyder thus highlights the potential of hybrid drives, i.e. the simultaneous
increase in efficiency and performance, without one coming at the expense of the
other. Thanks to the SMG 180/120 electric motor developed by Bosch, the
Porsche 918 Spyder has an additional 210 kW (286 hp) of driving power. The
electric motor on the front axle of the 918 Spyder delivers a torque of 210 Nm
right from the start, while the motor on the rear axle delivers 375 Nm. The result
is a total system output of 652 kW (887 hp) with a maximum torque of up to
1,280 Nm, allowing the 918 Spyder to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere
2.6 seconds. The super sports car's fuel consumption, on the other hand, is an
amazing 3.1 litres per 100 km, making it more efficient in the NEDC test than
most of today's small cars.
Panamera S E-Hybrid and Cayenne S E-Hybrid: fuel consumption of a small
car
The driving experience of a sports car combined with the consumption of a small
car – the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid and Panamera S E-Hybrid prove that
these two are not contradictory to each other. The world's first plug-in hybrid
amongst the premium SUVs with a system output of 306 kW (416 hp) achieves
an NEDC fuel consumption of just 3.4 l/100 km. The plug-in hybrid model of the
Porsche Gran Turismo, which also has a system output of 306 kW (416 hp)
stands out thanks to its weight advantage, rear-wheel drive and low drag, giving
it a fuel consumption of just 3.1 l/100 km.
In the plug-in hybrid models of the Porsche Cayenne and Panamera, Bosch's
IMG-300 electric motor provides additional electrical propulsion. It gives a boost
of up to 310 Nm of additional torque and provides 70 kW (95 hp) of additional
power. The central interface between the electric motor and the battery is the
INVCON 2.3 module made by Bosch. The power electronics are the control
centre of the electric powertrain, because the system converts the direct current
stored as energy in the battery into three-phase alternating current for the electric
motor and vice versa. The traction battery stores the electricity in the powertrain.
It is made up of prismatic cells with an energy capacity of 9.4 kilowatt hours in
the Panamera S E-Hybrid and 10.8 kilowatt hours in the Cayenne S E-Hybrid
that can be fully charged from a normal household power socket in less than four
hours. Using a high current power supply, the charging time is almost halved to a
good two hours.

Electrification and internet in the car: how Bosch is
linking new technologies to gasoline and diesel
 Gasoline engines: 350 bar for direct injection
 Diesel engines: 48-volt hybrid to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions
 Dr. Rolf Bulander: “Bits and bytes are making cars more efficient”
Lawmakers have mandated economical, low-emission vehicles. Car buyers want
vehicles that are safe and that offer more convenience and engine performance.
At the International Vienna Motor Symposium 2015, Bosch presented numerous
innovations that meet all of these requirements. “Bosch technology is making
cars more efficient, more convenient, and more fun to drive,” said Dr. Rolf Bulander, member of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH and chairman of the Mobility Solutions business sector. All three aspects come together in
the Bosch boost recuperation system. In the New European Driving Cycle, the
48-volt hybrid can cut CO2 emissions by 7 percent (based on compact class).
Thanks to its electric-supported coasting, the car offers a smoother ride and can
deliver up to 150 Nm more torque on demand.
Connected electronic horizon: efficiency thanks to real-time data
Innovative advances will transform automotive powertrains over the next few
years. “Electrification and connectivity will give a further boost to gasoline and
diesel engines,” predicted Bulander. “Bits and bytes are making cars more efficient.” Electrified vehicles stand to gain tremendous benefits from connectivity.
They are safer, more efficient, and more fun to drive. One example of how this
works is the connected electronic horizon. In the future, this Bosch technology
will supply essential traffic information about construction sites, traffic jams, and
accidents in real time. From this basis, it will be possible to further improve existing functions such as start-stop coasting. At the same time, plug-in hybrids can
use the system to implement a predictive operating strategy. Such technologies
can cut CO2 emissions by a double-digit percentage.

Even after 2020, the vast majority of new cars will be powered by fossil
fuels
In his presentation, Bulander reaffirmed that internal-combustion engines will remain the basis of efficient mobility. Even ten years from now, the vast majority of
new vehicles worldwide will be powered by fossil fuels. Europe, the U.S., and
China will raise the legal requirements for engine efficiency still further over that
same period. Starting in 2021, the average new car in the EU will have an emissions cap of 95 g of CO2 per kilometer. Based on the current situation, advances
in engine design should make it possible to achieve these values. The CO2 emissions for a gasoline engine in the subcompact class can be reduced to 85 g per
kilometer, and for a diesel engine, that figure can be even lower than 70 g per
kilometer. Enhanced aerodynamics and reduced rolling friction could once again
lead to further improvements. Vehicles in the premium class and SUVs will need
additional electrification.
Engineering turns its attention to real driving emissions
In addition to current emission regulations, engineers are increasingly focusing
on real driving emissions. The European Union is discussing whether to introduce real driving emission tests starting in 2017. This measuring method for diesel cars concentrates primarily on the emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon
monoxide in real-life driving situations. For cars with gasoline direct injection, the
focus is on the level of particulates emitted. A number of vehicles currently in
production already expel an extremely low amount of emissions – for example,
during rapid acceleration or at high speeds. Now it’s time to drive the spread of
this capability and develop cost-effective technologies that will ensure compliance, whatever the driving conditions. Bosch presented several approaches at
the International Vienna Motor Symposium that support this endeavor. Bulander
put special emphasis on interlinking the domains of electrification, automation,
and connectivity: “Bosch pools these aspects in the vehicle and creates ideal
systems,” he said.
One example of this approach is the innovative direct injection system with laserdrilled spray holes in gasoline engines. The holes’ precise edges swirl the fuel in
the combustion chamber in such a way that it burns extremely efficiently. Increasing the injection pressure from 200 to 350 bar cuts particulate emissions to
an even greater extent – especially under high load points and dynamic engine
operation. Bosch debuted this refined version of its gasoline direct injection system at the Vienna Motor Symposium.
In diesel engines, electrification reduces nitrogen oxide emissions right in the engine, making exhaust gas treatment still more efficient. Bulander demonstrated
Page2 of 3
PI8908
this by presenting Bosch’s new 48-volt boost recuperation system. Through the
judicious application of boosts, the system can markedly reduce untreated nitrogen oxide emissions, especially at high loads or when the car is accelerating.
The crucial factor here is that this effect cuts emissions directly at the point of
combustion by up to 20 percent. This has the effect of significantly lowering exhaust pipe emissions: Bosch believes the system could allow the storage catalytic converter to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 80 percent. Electrification will also increase the level of efficiency for urea-based systems as well (SCR
catalytic converters). These exhaust gas treatment applications consume much
less AdBlue, which means the fluid doesn’t need to be refilled as often.

New test vehicles for automated driving
Electric-car twins join the Bosch fleet
 Test vehicles for automated driving are based on Tesla Model S
 Premiere at 2015 International Automotive Press Briefing in Boxberg
 Bosch is developing automated driving for all kinds of production vehicles
 Retrofitting a car requires 50 new Bosch components, 1,300 meters of cable,
and 1,400 hours of work
 Highly automated test vehicles are already driving on public roads
Stuttgart – Spotting a test vehicle, equipped as they are with measurement devices, sensors, and instruments, is usually pretty easy. But that’s not the case for
the new Model S Teslas that recently joined the Bosch fleet. Both these test vehicles are helping engineers further refine automated driving. But at first glance,
it’s hard to tell them apart from production models. “Bosch is developing automated driving for production vehicles of all kinds,” says Dr. Dirk Hoheisel, member of the Bosch board of management. The new test vehicles are evidence of
the progress Bosch has already made in integrating the necessary systems and
components. Those attending the 62nd International Automotive Press Briefing
can see this for themselves in Boxberg, Germany, from May 19 to 21, 2015.
Fit for highly automated driving after 1,400 hours of work
To make the test vehicles ready for automated driving, they first had to be retrofitted. Fifty new Bosch components were installed in each car. They included a
stereo video camera (SVC), which the car uses to recognize lanes, traffic signs,
and clear spaces. The Bosch SVC is the smallest stereo camera system for
automotive applications currently available in the market. Its compact design
makes it easy to integrate into vehicles. In addition to the camera, 1,300 meters
of cable were laid in each car and fixed in place with 400 cable ties. “After some
1,400 hours of work on each of them, the test vehicles are ready for highly automated driving,” Hoheisel says. Thanks to Bosch technology, the two Teslas can
now autonomously drive from on-ramp to off-ramp without the driver needing to
constantly monitor them.

This transfer of responsibility from the driver to the vehicle explains why so
much time and effort is necessary for the retrofit. Highly automated vehicles
must be capable of operating safely even if a component fails. The only way to
achieve such operational reliability is by a design strategy that includes redundancy in safety-critical systems such as braking and steering. For example, both
test vehicles feature both the iBooster electromechanical brake booster and
the ESP braking control system. These Bosch components can brake the car
independently of each other, without any need for driver intervention. “For Bosch,
the principle here is safety first,” Hoheisel says. Back-up systems are also
available for the two test vehicles’ power supply and vital ECUs.

Since 2011, Bosch has had two teams – on two continents – working on automated driving. At the Abstatt location in Germany, Bosch engineers are working
on system integration. Their colleagues at Palo Alto in California’s Silicon Valley
are driving forward work on function development. The two teams receive support from roughly 2,000 driver-assistance engineers who work for Bosch around
the world. To make it as easy as possible for the two teams to share their results,
Bosch uses identical test vehicles. Hoheisel explains why Bosch opted for two
all-electric Model S vehicles made by the U.S. automaker Tesla: “They combine
two automotive industry trends: electrification and automation.” This presents a
particular challenge, he says, but one that Bosch relishes.
Bosch started testing automated driving on public roads at the beginning of
2013. So far, it has been using test vehicles based on the BMW 325d Touring.
Engineers have successfully driven them for several thousand kilometers on
freeways – both the A81 near Stuttgart and the I280 in California. Before the first
test drives, the German certification authority TÜV Süd reviewed the safety
concept that Bosch had prepared specially for the purpose. And even though the
technology on board the vehicles is designed to handle any situation in freeway
traffic, the drivers at the wheel have been specially trained. Bosch’s test drivers
not only know the safety precautions inside out, but have also completed a multiday training course.

Glossary of Bosch driver assistance systems
From ACC to cross-traffic alert system
Driver assistance systems: These invisible co-pilots help drivers in monotonous
or difficult traffic situations. They monitor the car’s surroundings with the help
of radar, video, and ultrasonic sensors. They help to steer and brake the car
when parking, changing lanes, or sitting in traffic. Driver assistance systems can
prevent accidents and are precursors to automated driving.
Invisible co-pilots make driving in road traffic safer
Adaptive cruise control: ACC can accelerate and brake a car autonomously. With
the help of a radar sensor, the system maintains both the driver’s chosen speed
and a programmed safe distance to the vehicle in front. This helps drivers reach
their destination more relaxed, while the more even driving style saves fuel. In
the Stop&Go version, ACC can even stop the car completely and restart the
engine once traffic gets moving again after a brief pause.
Evasive steering support: Evasive steering support helps drivers avoid obstacles
by way of specific steering interventions. This means the maximum steering
angle is reached 25 percent faster. Prior to the maneuver, radar and video sensors detect whether the vehicle’s surroundings permit a swerve of any kind.
Automatic emergency braking (rear): It can be difficult to see small children when
reversing. Automatic emergency braking (rear) is based on radar and ultrasonic
sensors in conjunction with the ESP electronic stability program. At speeds of up
to 15 kilometers per hour, the system automatically performs an emergency
braking maneuver if it detects a person or an obstacle dangerously close to the
rear of the reversing vehicle.
Construction zone assist: The construction zone assist system keeps the car
within a narrower lane by way of steering corrections. To do this, the system
takes data from video and ultrasonic sensors and calculates a safe distance on
either side to vehicles in the neighboring lane as well as to the crash barrier. The
video sensor also measures clear spaces ahead of the vehicle. This enables the

system to provide a timely warning in case the lane in a freeway construction
zone is too narrow for the vehicle.
Driver drowsiness recognition: Drowsiness at the wheel causes imprecise
steering maneuvers and lots of steering corrections. The drowsiness recognition
system constantly analyzes the driver’s steering behavior by way of the steering
angle sensor, so it can recognize signs that the driver is nodding off before it
happens. It also takes into account factors such as the time of day and the
length of the journey. Tired drivers are warned optically and acoustically, and are
reminded to take a break.
Intelligent headlight control: When driving at night or in a tunnel, this system
automatically activates the headlights. Outside of built-up areas, it will also automatically switch on the high beams as long as it does not detect any vehicles
ahead or any oncoming traffic via the video sensor. This means the road ahead
is always ideally lit.
Left-turn assist: When turning left involves crossing the other side of the road, it
is easy to overlook oncoming traffic. The left-turn assist system monitors oncoming traffic using two radar sensors in the front of the vehicle. If the gap in traffic is
too small to permit a turn, the system prevents the vehicle from moving forward.
If a collision with an oncoming vehicle is imminent, the system will stop the turn in
time by performing an automatic emergency braking maneuver.
Lane keeping support: The lane keeping support system helps drivers to keep
their vehicle within a traffic lane. It uses a video sensor to detect the lane markings to the right and left of the vehicle. If the vehicle’s distance to the lane
boundary falls below a defined minimum, the lane keeping support steps in. In
vehicles with electric power steering, it steers gently but firmly in the opposite
direction in order to keep the vehicle in the lane. In vehicles without electric
power steering, it achieves the same effect by utilizing the ESP electronic stability program to brake individual wheels. Drivers can override the function at all
times, so they retain control of the vehicle. If they activate the turn signal in order
to change lane or turn, the system does not intervene.
Lane-departure warning: The lane-departure warning system alerts drivers to the
fact that they are about to unintentionally drift out of the lane by, for example,
causing the steering wheel to vibrate. A video sensor detects the lane markings
ahead. If the vehicle risks leaving the lane unintentionally, the system sounds a
warning. This enables the driver to change course in time. If the driver has activated the turn signal in advance of a lane change, the system sounds no warning.
Page 2 of 5
PI8924
Lane change assist: Radar sensors fitted in the rear of the vehicle constantly
monitor the traffic situation up to 90 meters to the side and behind the vehicle.
Prior to a lane change, the function warns the driver, for instance by lighting up
a symbol in the exterior rear-view mirrors, if it detects another vehicle either
approaching from behind at speed or already in the blind spot.
Traffic jam assist: The traffic jam assist system is based on the sensors and
mechanics of ACC Stop&Go and of the lane keeping support. Up to a speed of
60 kilometers per hour, the system automatically follows the vehicle ahead in
heavy traffic. Not only does the traffic jam assist accelerate and brake, it also
keeps the vehicle in its lane by way of steering interventions. This relieves drivers
so they can focus on monitoring the system.
Side view assist: In contrast to the lane change assist with its radar sensors, the
side view assist system uses ultrasonic sensors. These permit it to monitor the
hard-to-see areas up to four meters to the side and just behind the car. When
turning or changing lanes, for instance, the system warns drivers that there is a
vehicle in their blind spot by lighting up a symbol in the exterior rear-view mirrors.
Road sign recognition: The road sign recognition system helps drivers to navigate the “road sign jungle.” By way of a video sensor, this system detects all
relevant road signs – including speed limits and no-passing warnings – and
presents them as information on the cockpit display. This not only ensures
drivers are always informed of the current applicable speed limit, it also means
they can be warned when they are exceeding it.
Predictive pedestrian protection: Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users.
The proactive pedestrian protection system uses radar or video sensors for early
detection of pedestrians who step out into the road without warning and might be
hit by the car. The system then reacts faster than any human to automatically
perform an emergency braking maneuver. This either avoids an impact or at
least reduces the speed of impact and hence the severity of injuries.
Predictive collision warning: This system uses a radar sensor to detect whether
there is a risk of collision with an obstacle in the road. It then builds up braking
pressure in an instant to prepare the braking system for an emergency braking
maneuver. At the same time, it warns the driver of the risk of collision with either
an optical or acoustic signal. If the driver then steps on the brakes, maximum
braking power is available immediately and the braking distance is much shorter
as a result.
Page 3 of 5
PI8924
Automatic emergency braking: If a radar or video sensor detects a potential
obstacle ahead of the car, this system first of all prepares the braking system
for an emergency braking maneuver and warns the driver. If the driver doesn’t
respond, the system performs a partial braking maneuver in order to increase the
time available to react. As soon as the driver steps on the brakes, the system
helps to avoid an accident by calculating the braking power needed and increasing the braking power applied should the driver brake too gently. If the driver also
fails to respond to the partial braking maneuver and the system detects that a
collision is unavoidable, it performs an emergency braking maneuver itself. This
helps to greatly mitigate the consequences of the accident.
Electronic assistants turn parking into child’s play
Smart trailer parking: Maneuvering a car and trailer into a parking space is truly
an art. The smart trailer parking system offers a convenient way for drivers to
control their vehicle and trailer from the curbside using a smartphone or tablet
computer. It is based on electric power steering, the ESP electronic stability
program, the electronic gas pedal, and a trailer hitch featuring a trailer angle
sensor. Users can select steering angle and vehicle speed with an app. The
driver can stand anywhere that offers a good view of the procedure.
Parking aid: Most accidents occur when parking. At speeds of up to ten kilometers per hour during parking maneuvers, ultrasonic sensors integrated into the
bumpers constantly monitor the distance to any obstacles in the parking area.
Drivers are also warned optically and/or acoustically about other vehicles that are
parking. The closer the car gets to an obstacle, the more frequently the acoustic
warning is sounded, until it becomes a continuous tone.
Remote park assist: With the remote controlled park assist system, vehicles park
themselves as if by magic. All drivers need to do is press and hold a button on
their ignition key or smartphone. This tells the vehicle to automatically maneuver
itself into the parking space it has previously detected and measured using ultrasonic sensors. However, drivers retain responsibility for the parking maneuver.
As soon as they release the button on their ignition key or smartphone, the
system immediately stops parking.
Maneuver brake assist: At a speed of up to ten kilometers per hour, ultrasonic
sensors monitor the entire area around the vehicle up to a distance of four
meters. The system uses this sensor data to detect relevant and non-relevant
obstacles and to calculate the path the car should travel. If there is a risk of
collision, the driver is warned. If the driver fails to react, the system stops the car
itself.
Page 4 of 5
PI8924
Park steering control: This system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect parallel or
perpendicular parking spaces suitable for the vehicle in question and informs the
driver. Upon activation, the system then automatically steers the car into the
space. The driver remains responsible for accelerating and braking.
Rear cross-traffic alert: When reversing out of a perpendicular parking space, this
radar-supported system detects vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians that are
crossing behind the car up to 50 meters away. It then gives the driver an acoustic
or optical warning when there is a risk of collision.

Vorausschauendes Notbremssystem
Pressebild-Nr.
Press Photo No.
Erkennt ein Radar- oder Videosensor vor dem Auto ein potenzielles
Hindernis, wird die Bremsanlage zunächst auf eine Vollbremsung
vorbereitet und der Fahrer gewarnt. Bleibt seine Reaktion aus, leitet das
System eine Teilbremsung ein, um die mögliche Reaktionszeit zu
verlängern. Reagiert der Fahrer auch auf die Teilbremsung nicht und
erkennt das System, dass ein Unfall unvermeidbar ist, leitet es eine
Vollbremsung ein.

Automatic emergency braking
If a radar or video sensor detects a potential obstacle ahead of the car,
this system first of all prepares the braking system for an emergency
braking maneuver and warns the driver. If the driver doesn’t respond, the
system performs a partial braking maneuver in order to increase the time
available to react. If the driver also fails to respond to the partial braking
maneuver and the system detects that a collision is unavoidable, it
performs an emergency braking maneuver itself.

Bosch authoring system eases the creation of AR
solutions with large volume of data
Bosch banks on Augmented Reality applications
for workshops, trainings and sales
 Augmented Reality applications have a great future potential
 Bosch is the world’s leading platform provider for the industrialization
of Augmented Reality
 Applications for workshops, trainings and sales
Augmented Reality applications (AR) expand the reality in a computerassisted manner by adding useful additional information. Using a tablet
computer or a smart phone, matching explanations, pictures or videos are
added to the live image once the user points the device’s camera at an
area for which Augmented Reality information is available. Market
researchers are convinced: Concomitant with the widespread use and
growing prevalence of smart phones and tablet computers, Augmented
Reality solutions will play a key role in our future lives. Bosch is a pioneer
and trendsetter in terms of Augmented Reality applications for the
automotive sector. At the same time, it is the first company providing a
platform for the industrialization of Augmented Reality.
Software platform eases the creation of AR applications
Bosch developed a platform for the creation of high-performance
Augmented Reality applications. In a relatively easy and fast manner, it
facilitates the integration of digital and visual contents into, for instance,
technical documentations. For this purpose, the Bosch Common Augmented Reality Platform CAP is backed by a comprehensive database of
which it extracts the matching contents for the respective Augmented
Reality application. Besides written information and explanations in text
format, video clips, pictures, safety instructions with audio clips, 3D data,
circuit diagrams, technical drawings and markers for the tracking configuration can be added as well. The cross-platform system is independent

from specific tracking or rendering techniques. The platform is thus designed for the industrialization of AR contents and applications allowing
companies to use Augmented Reality for all sectors.
Diverse future Augmented Reality solutions for service, repair and
training purposes
Thanks to Augmented Reality applied in automotive workshops, the technician will see, for instance, the location of hidden components or the cable
harness behind the dashboard on his tablet computer. Instructions and
required special tools will then be displayed at the live image. The next
work steps are thus clear and unnecessary disassembly and assembly can
be avoided. By means of the touch screen, the displayed objects can be
controlled and additional information can be accessed. Sophisticated and
time-consuming consultation of service manuals is no longer required.
Mistakes and confusion caused by different versions of the same vehicle
model can be excluded. Augmented Reality eases repair processes, makes
them faster and, at the same time, increases the quality of work. With the
help of Augmented Reality used for trainings, sophisticated repairs and the
correct handling of state-of-the-art automotive technology can be taught
much easier and faster.
