Our work centers on four pillars: AD/ADAS, our autonomous driving and advanced driver assist technologies; Arene, our software development platform for software-defined vehicles; Woven City, a test course for mobility; and Cloud & AI, the digital infrastructure powering our collaborative foundation. Business-critical functions empower these teams to execute, and together, we're working toward one bold goal: a world with zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all.
=========================================================================
TEAM The mission of the Legal & IP team is to drive innovation and help realize a safer mobility society by providing agile, effective legal support and delivering clear, strategic advice in a fast-moving business environment.
Our team covers a broad range of legal areas, including export control, privacy & data protection, antitrust, and subcontracting regulations. We partner closely with internal teams and global companies to build innovative collaborations and strategic partnerships.
