Bosch and Cariad advance AI for automated driving
This move aims to create intelligent driver assistance systems that emulate human driving behaviour, elevating the driving experience and improving safety.
The software stack is designed to handle the critical cognitive functions of driving, such as perception, interpretation, decision-making, and action.
By leveraging modern AI, the alliance is progressing toward its objective of making automated driving accessible to a wide range of consumers, from the mass market to the premium segment.
The partners envision new driving functions that will enable hands-free driving in various scenarios.
Initial versions have been deployed in test fleets and are undergoing continuous training and development using extensive data sets.
A production-ready software stack is expected to be available by mid-2026.
Volkswagen plans to integrate these automated driving functions into its new software-defined vehicle architecture.
Bosch also intends to offer this scalable solution to other manufacturers globally to promote widespread adoption of automated driving.
AI has been a cornerstone of the alliance's work, particularly in perception tasks like the recognition of objects.
The latest AI stack can analyse complex urban traffic scenarios and predict the road users' behaviour, Cariad said.
This advanced technology is being developed within a modern engineering environment and a comprehensive hardware strategy, ensuring scalability and future-proofing across all vehicle classes.
The software stack also paves the way for integrating multimodal AI approaches, such as vision-language-action (VLA) methods, which could further improve the system's training and understanding of traffic situations.
VLAs have the potential to identify hidden driving risks and prompt suitable responses.
A global test and validation fleet is crucial for this development, with teams from Cariad and Bosch testing driving functions on public roads across the US, Japan, and Europe.
The development process is data-driven, allowing for frequent software updates and optimisations to be imported into test vehicles.
The technology is currently in use in test vehicles such as the ID.Buzz and the Audi Q8, with plans to expand the test fleet significantly this year to gather 'high-quality' data.
This data will be instrumental in refining the AI stack and addressing complex and rare driving situations called corner cases.

Carlsberg misses first-half forecasts, warns of difficult year
LONDON (Reuters) -Carlsberg missed half-year profit and volume forecasts on Thursday, with the Danish brewer warning it does not expect any improvement in the consumer environment for the rest of 2025. The world's third largest brewer behind Anheuser-Busch InBev and Heineken nevertheless raised its full-year profit guidance, breaking with those rivals who opted to keep their forecasts unchanged as U.S. tariffs drive uncertainties. Volume growth or forecasts at all three brewers have disappointed in recent weeks as the sector battles with weak demand, tariff impacts and poor weather, leaving investors fretting over growth. Carlsberg, which makes Kronenbourg 1664, Tuborg and Somersby, said it had grown first-half organic operating profit by 2.3%, while organic volumes slipped 1.7% - putting it just behind analyst expectations on both measures. CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen said the group had "delivered solid results in a difficult half year". "We don't expect the consumer environment to improve over the remainder of the year," he warned, adding Carlsberg could narrow its profit guidance thanks to its strong performance management and cost discipline. It now expects annual operating profit growth of between 3% and 5% organically, compared with between 1% and 5% before. Its half-year operating profit stood at 7.23 billion Danish crowns ($1.13 billion), against analyst expectations for 7.35 billion crowns. ($1 = 6.3777 Danish crowns)

Liverpool wake up to critical £200m CRISIS
Liverpool have spent an incredible amount of money this summer. But they've now walked into a crisis that needs fixing. This has been a transfer window to remember at Liverpool. The Reds have spent on a level they've never reached before, signing upgrades across the board. If you include Giorgi Mamardashvili's arrival, even if he was technically signed a year ago, we've seen additions in every area of the pitch. The Georgian will rival Alisson Becker in goal - we'll have to see how that goes. Shop the LFC Store LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! There are additions at full-back, of course. Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong are now the most expensive left-back and right-back respectively in Liverpool's history. Hugo Ekitiké is the most expensive forward in Liverpool's history. He joins from Eintracht Frankfurt and started with a bang - a brilliant goal just four minutes into his competitive debut on Sunday. And then there's Florian Wirtz. He's now the club's record signing and potentially the British transfer record, should all add-ons be met (and a bigger deal doesn't happen in between). Incredible spending, then. But there's a problem. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Liverpool lean left Liverpool looked electric at times against Crystal Palace in the Community Shield. As mentioned, it took four minutes for some great play down the left to find Wirtz who set up Ekitiké for a wonderful goal. Liverpool were much the better team, in fact, until Palace made a substitution on 29 minutes. That saw Will Hughes enter the fray and he essentially just sat in the Wirtz's space. So what did Wirtz do? He drifted towards the left, as he prefers. Only, Palace's back three wasn't leaving much space in the middle for Ekitiké, who also drifted left. Cody Gakpo was playing on the left, meaning he was naturally in that space. Seeing a problem? It was actually worse than that. Kerkez is a left-back who excels at over and underlapping, getting beyond the winger and stretching play. That's incredibly difficult to do when three teammates are operating there. It leaves no space to run into, which meant Kerkez frequently looked like a left-sided centre-back at times. Even worse, Dominik Szoboszlai, playing in the middle of midfield, likes to drift wide and that was his side of the pitch. It meant Liverpool had five players all wanting similar space. © Sofa Score - Copyright: Sofascore The above is Liverpool's average positions for their starting XI against Palace (per Sofascore - you can find more match data here). The Reds are ridiculously lopsided as everyone bar Mo Salah and Jeremie Frimpong look left. That has the added effect of isolating the right side, who rarely saw the ball. Salah had just 26 touches across the 90 - he averaged 49 last season. A problem exacerbated by not having Trent Alexander-Arnold out there as a playmaker from right-back. That essentially forced the team to play on both flanks but it's no longer the case. This is why that Hughes substitution neutered Liverpool. It left them unable to play through the middle and with so many players all taking up positions on the left to compensate, too few were left on the right. Liverpool were disjointed and lost. No one was able to show what they can do as they either didn't have the space to do it or didn't have the ball. This was always going to be something of a problem, of course. Wirtz, Ekitiké and Kerkez contributed to the issue as they're all new players who aren't yet used to playing with one another. But it's also down to Arne Slot. He's got to find a way for these stars to play their natural game together, in a way that doesn't compromise what they do nor compromise what teammates want to do. It's a challenge but one we know he's up for. It'll be an interesting season to say the least.

UK insurer Aviva raises dividend after half-year profit jumps 22%
(Reuters) -British insurer Aviva raised its interim dividend on Thursday after reporting a 22% jump in half-year operating profit, driven by strong growth in UK & Ireland general insurance premiums and higher wealth net flows. The company, which closed a 3.7 billion pound ($5.02 billion) takeover of smaller rival Direct Line in July, said it would provide more details on Direct Line and the impact of the deal on its targets in November. "(Direct Line) integration is well underway... and we are confident the deal will contribute significantly to Aviva's future growth," CEO Amanda Blanc said in a statement. Aviva, which also provides wealth and retirement services, said it expected some areas of rate softening in the second half of the year for its general insurance business, but its wealth and health divisions were expected to grow further. The company posted an operating profit of 1.07 billion pounds for the six-month period ended June 30, compared with the 875 million pounds reported for the year-earlier period. The insurer raised its dividend by 10% to 13.1 pence per share.
