都灵，10月9日：Stellantis首席执行官安东尼奥·菲洛萨周五表示，这家汽车制造商与英国初创公司Wayve的合作，有望大幅缩短高级驾驶辅助系统的开发周期并降低开发成本，而各大车企正争相将自动驾驶功能推向市场。
TURIN, Oct 9 : Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa said on Friday the automaker's partnership with British startup Wayve could help slash development times and costs for advanced driver-assistance systems as carmakers race to bring autonomous features to market.
在都灵举办的Wave技术活动上，菲洛萨与Wayve首席执行官亚历克斯·肯德尔一同发表讲话。他表示，规模化生产对于让免手操作驾驶技术变得经济实惠并加速普及至关重要。
Speaking alongside Wayve CEO Alex Kendall at the Wave technology event in Turin, Filosa said scale would be crucial to making hands-free driving affordable and accelerating adoption.
“只要普及率能沿着我们预计的大规模发展路径前进……汽车行业的规模效应，也就是我们为亚历克斯带来的互补性优势之一，将有效降低成本，这一点显然非常重要，”菲洛萨说道。他所指的是所谓的2++级驾驶辅助技术，该技术允许驾驶员双手脱离方向盘，但仍需保持监督。
"So as long as penetration follows the path that we believe is going to happen massively ... automotive scale, which is one of the complimentary assets that we bring to Alex, for instance, will decrease costs, which is very important, obviously," Filosa said, referring to so-called level 2++ driving assistance technology, which allows for hands-off driving while still requiring driver supervision.
他还表示，缩短开发周期是与技术合作伙伴合作的关键优势之一。目前，Stellantis的此类系统开发周期约为24个月。
Reducing development timelines, currently around 24 months for Stellantis, was a key benefit of working with technology partners, he said.
Stellantis于5月宣布与Wayve建立合作伙伴关系，将这家初创公司的人工智能驱动驾驶软件整合到其STLA AutoDrive平台中。首个产品计划于2028年在北美推出。
Stellantis in May announced a partnership with Wayve to integrate the startup's AI-powered driving software into its STLA AutoDrive platform. Its first product launch is targeted for 2028 in North America.
随着各大车企推动更广泛的部署，欧洲监管机构仍在努力统一日益复杂的驾驶辅助系统的审批规则。
European regulators are still working to harmonise approval rules for increasingly sophisticated assisted-driving systems as automakers push for wider deployment.
竞争加剧：传统汽车制造商最初主要计划自行开发高级自动驾驶系统，但随着成本飙升、回报周期长于预期，他们正越来越多地依赖专业科技公司。
INTENSIFYING COMPETITION Traditional automakers initially aimed to develop advanced self-driving systems largely in-house, but with costs soaring and returns taking longer then expected, they are increasingly relying on specialist technology firms.
Wayve也正在与日产和梅赛德斯等其他汽车制造商合作，并表示其技术设计用于跨多个汽车品牌和市场部署。
Wayve is also working with other automakers, including Nissan and Mercedes, and has said its technology is designed to be deployed across multiple vehicle brands and markets.
肯德尔表示，Stellantis旗下包括Jeep、Fiat、Peugeot和Maserati在内的品牌组合，提供了一个独特的机会，可以在使用同一基础AI系统的同时，为不同车辆定制自动驾驶特性。
Kendall said Stellantis' portfolio of brands - which include Jeep, Fiat, Peugeot and Maserati - offered a unique opportunity to tailor autonomous driving characteristics across different vehicles while using the same underlying AI system.
“其中一个目标……就是充分利用Stellantis所拥有的多样化车型和品牌，”他说。
"One of the goals ... is the diversity of vehicles and brands that Stellantis have," he said.
此次合作正值自动驾驶领域的竞争日益激烈之际。特斯拉正推动欧洲各地的监管机构批准其完全自动驾驶技术，并主张先进的驾驶辅助系统能够提升道路安全，同时加速自动驾驶功能的普及。
The partnership comes amid intensifying competition in automated driving. Tesla is pushing regulators across Europe to approve its Full Self-Driving technology, arguing advanced driver-assistance systems can improve road safety and accelerate adoption of autonomous features.
在都灵的活动上，Stellantis和Wayve展示了Fiat 500e和Maserati Grecale开发车型中的免手操作驾驶功能，这项技术最早于今年早些时候在Jeep Grand Cherokee上亮相。
At the Turin event, Stellantis and Wayve demonstrated hands-free driving in Fiat 500e and Maserati Grecale development vehicles, extending technology first shown on a Jeep Grand Cherokee earlier this year.
