March 25 (Reuters) - Volkswagen Group said on

Tuesday it would collaborate with Valeo and Mobileye

as it deepens its network of suppliers to develop

assisted and autonomous driving.

The German carmaker said in a statement it will draw on the

suppliers' capabilities for enhanced partially automated

driving, known as Level 2+ systems, for security and driver

comfort in new high-volume models over the next few years.

In 2022, Volkswagen signed up Bosch to co-develop software

for different levels of automated driving.

In its statement on Tuesday, VW said Valeo would provide

electronic control units, sensors and parking solutions, with

Mobileye contributing camera, radar and mapping technologies.

The targeted features include hands-free driving under

specific conditions, traffic jam assist, hazard detection,

parking assist and driver monitoring.
