Why choose Bosch as a safety partner?

Safety systems are something you never have to think about – until you need them. A sudden loss of traction triggers a split-second reaction, and the car stays in control thanks to ESP from Bosch. From pioneering ABS in 1978 to introducing ESP in 1995, and developing today’s advanced driver assistance systems, Bosch has been shaping the evolution of vehicle safety for decades. Every technology we create shares a single purpose: Invented for life.

At Bosch, we do not just comply with safety standards such as NCAP or global regulations – we help to shape them. With over 45 years of safety system expertise, we have built a global safety network that adapts seamlessly to regional needs – from Shanghai’s complex city traffic to German country roads and American highways.

Safety demands vary around the world – and Bosch delivers solutions tailored to each region. With regulatory standards evolving differently across regions – from EU NCAP's demanding night-time scenarios to China's urban complexity challenges, and the US rolling out new federal safety regulations – success demands a partner with proven global expertise who understands local market nuances.

Bosch's worldwide presence in all key automotive markets enables us to navigate these diverse regulatory landscapes while delivering locally optimized safety solutions that meet specific regional demands. This unique combination of global scale and local excellence ensures that our customers can compete successfully in every market that they serve.

This commitment to excellence is anchored in our fundamental principle: safety is the unifying element across our entire product portfolio.

The ADAS safety core serves as the foundation of our portfolio, anchored by automatic emergency braking, emergency lane keeping, and collision

avoidance functions. It forms the basis of our entire ADAS product family, ensuring that we are equipped for today's mobility challenges and tomorrow's regulations. Our advanced driving systems combine a multi-sensor architecture with sophisticated fusion algorithms designed specifically for challenging conditions, thus helping to protect lives, day and night. But safety does not stop at the windshield: our interior sensing solutions create a comprehensive safety cocoon for all occupants through integrated driver and occupant monitoring systems.

At the same time, Bosch's predictive road condition services provide the system with real-time information on environmental conditions and potential hazards such as aquaplaning, ice or snow - long before a critical situation arises, giving the driver a good feeling of being safe on the road.

Automatic emergency braking

Automatic emergency braking

Inattentiveness when driving can have serious consequences. To reduce the risk of a rear-end or turn collision or to mitigate their consequences, Bosch has developed the automatic emergency braking. Being active when the vehicle is started, it supports the driver at all speeds - by day and by night. However, the driver still has to be attentive and drive carefully at all times.

Road hazard services

Road hazard services

Wet, icy or damaged roads can be challenging for the driver and a safe and appropriate way of driving is required. Automated vehicles also need to anticipate road conditions correctly and react accordingly. The predicitive road condition services help the system to detect such hazards long before a critical situation occurs.

Interior sensing solution

Interior sensing solution

Microsleep, distraction, an unfastened seat belt – what happens inside the vehicle can have far-reaching consequences. The interior sensing solutions from Bosch increase safety for all vehicle occupants. Using innovative sensor systems for the vehicle interior, critical situations such as distraction and drowsiness are detected at an early stage and the driver is warned accordingly.
