Its autonomy relevance is concrete: it is the hardware partner to Aurora Innovation, alongside NVIDIA, for mass production of autonomous trucking systems from 2027, supplying sensors, automated driving control units, high-performance computers and telematics, with its New Braunfels, Texas plant designated for the Aurora Driver hardware and fallback system. That same plant produced around 13 million ADAS radars in roughly three years with fewer than 500 employees and is being more than doubled in floor space, so AUMOVIO sits in both mass-market ADAS sensing and low-volume high-assurance autonomous-trucking sensing from one line (scored here under the autonomy Systems placement; the Lidar and radar sensing franchise is the same company). H1 2026 adjusted sales fell 8.9 percent to EUR 8.6 billion with adjusted EBIT down 39.8 percent to EUR 157 million at a 1.8 percent margin, and the Autonomous & Mobility segment fell 12.7 percent to EUR 1.4 billion. A EUR 350 million BMW brake-system settlement on 2026-07-30 forced a profit guidance cut but came with more than EUR 1 billion of new BMW orders.
