Polestar 4 goes on sale in China today, laying the foundation for this technology by incorporating a Mobileye SuperVision-based Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) right from the beginning. With global sales planned for 2024, the first deliveries in China are expected before the end of 2023. Mobileye’s innovative technology is already integrated into over 150 million cars worldwide, making this collaboration a significant milestone.
