MUNICH — BMW will build its semi-autonomous driver assistance system on Amazon’s cloud computing technology, the two companies said Tuesday.
The German automaker’s next-generation advanced driver assistance system, or ADAS, will feature in its Neue Klasse range of electric cars that the company revealed on Saturday — that will launch in 2025.
It comes as traditional automakers look to boost the technology in their cars, with a particular focus on ADAS, to compete with Tesla.
An ADAS is a software system that can offer drivers assistance with actions such as lane changing or parking. Automakers are looking to introduce an increasing number of these features as they push toward autonomous driving. Tesla’s ADAS for example is called Autopilot.
