Key Milestones
CUbE (Continental Urban Mobility Experience) driverless development platform unveiled at CES: targeted urban robo-shuttle market with Tier-1 hardware integration play.
EasyMile-Continental Robo-Taxi unveiled at IAA Frankfurt: first Tier-1 robo-shuttle prototype targeting OEM contract manufacturing.
Series production of robo-taxi sensor stack commenced: long-range radar + camera bundles for Tier-1 OEM customers. Generated multi-million-unit ADAS revenue stream that subsidized AV R&D.
5th-generation 4D imaging radar launched in series production: first Tier-1 4D radar (range/azimuth/elevation/Doppler) for L2/L3 ADAS. Backed Aurora and Bosch programs.
Aurora partnership announced for hardware industrialization: $300M+ multi-year deal to scale sensors and compute for Aurora Driver trucks. Continental became Aurora's exclusive Tier-1.
Aurora Driver hardware program crossed first phase milestone: design freeze for production-intent components; 2027 truck launch on track. Industrial scale-up began at Continental's Schneeberg plant.
AUMOVIO ADAS spin-off completed Sept 18 2025: listed on Frankfurt Exchange (AMV0); ~82K employees; €18.5B FY25 revenue. Continental refocused on tires + safety hardware.
Aurora hardware-as-a-service production trucks shipping to Hirschbach (500-truck deal): first scaled production deployment of Aurora-Continental hardware kit. Anchor revenue stream for Aurora's commercial ramp.
