Brose is working with sensor specialist Vayyar, integrating sensor systems in power adjustment systems and drives in interior and exterior applications.
“We are combining our expertise with Vayyar’s leading position in radar sensors,” said Brose EVP Seat, Sandro Scharlibbe. “The integration of sensors into the overall system allows us to offer customers new functions that enhance the driving experience – especially with power side doors and flexible interiors, which will become commonplace in autonomous driving applications.

“Thanks to our expertise in the field of mechatronics, we are able to design and produce all components in-house – from hardware and software for electronics to electrics and mechanics. This is also true across systems, for example when side bolsters on the seat that fold down automatically as the door opens to facilitate getting in and out of the vehicle.”
Brose door systems, equipped with Vayyar’s sensors, enable protection of the door and at a minimal footprint in a single location.
Accurate interior monitoring in 3D adds functions such as anti-theft protection, gesture control and recognition of vital signs such as breathing rates.
Additionally, the precise sensing of occupancy and the position of seats makes it possible to eliminate previously required components. Companies have already equipped the first test vehicles with prototypes.
Interior monitoring of the sensor systems from Brose and Vayyar provides reliable collision protection for automatic adjustment functions in the cabin and other applications such as airbag control or theft protection.
