What Happened

Valeo announced a major expansion of its Smart Safety 360 (VSS360) system at Auto China 2026. The system now supports Highway Navigation on Autopilot (NOA), a feature that allows vehicles to follow a navigation route autonomously on highways under driver supervision. VSS360 uses a smart front camera as central compute, reducing the need for separate electronic control units.

  • Lane Change: automated lane changes with safe gap assessment
  • Intelligent Speed Control: dynamic optimal speed calculation
  • Smart Avoidance: safe navigation around traffic cones in construction zones
“Valeo is the world leader in ADAS systems and our teams are committed to developing the best technologies and to making them affordable to all. By adding Highway Navigation on Autopilot to our solution, we are delivering a high-value, mass-market solution to contribute to safer roads and more comfortable driving for everyone.”
