(Reuters) - Ford Motor Co (N:F) will work with Intel Corp 's (O:INTC) autonomous driving unit, Mobileye (F:0ME), to develop an improved collision avoidance system for its vehicles, the No.2 U.S. carmaker said on Monday.
Ford said the collaboration with Mobileye will be to develop improved camera-based collision warning, detection of vehicles and pedestrians and lane-keeping features for its vehicles, including F-150 and Mustang Mach-E cars.
The carmaker said Mobileye will provide its EyeQ sensing technology along with a vision-processing software to support Ford's Co-Pilot360 system as well as a hands-free driving feature that will be introduced next year.
Ford will include Mobileye's logo in driver-assist communication displays and is also considering using its Roadbook map system, which uses anonymized, crowd-sourced data from vehicle cameras.
