Volkswagen's Cariad Establishes AI Development Center in Berlin, Germany

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Cariad has set up an artificial intelligence-focused software development center near Berlin Central Station, with a primary focus on advancing autonomous driving and in-vehicle infotainment system technologies. Cariad CEO Peter Bosch stated that future vehicles will possess hearing, voice interaction capabilities, and the ability to drive autonomously, with the sensor technology required for these functions being driven by artificial intelligence. The company's software development experts are now centralized at this office location. Previously, Cariad had multiple scattered offices in Berlin and its focus on AI was not as pronounced as it is now.

Cariad's software systems serve all brands and subsidiaries under the Volkswagen Group. According to the company, it operates 20 technology centers and 5 brand centers, with the Berlin development center being one of the technology centers, while the brand centers are located directly at manufacturers such as Audi in Ingolstadt and Porsche in Stuttgart. However, Cariad also faces challenges related to costs and delays. Over the past three years, the company has undergone significant restructuring. To address this, the Volkswagen Group is attempting to achieve its software and connectivity goals more quickly and cost-effectively through partnerships with companies like the American electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian. Cariad currently employs approximately 1,000 people.
