HARMAN to Acquire ZF ADAS Business for 1.5B

HARMAN International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) business of ZF Group. The acquired unit includes automotive compute solutions, smart cameras, radars, and ADAS software functions.

The transaction is valued at 1.5 billion. HARMAN frames the deal as a strategic step to secure its foundations in ADAS and centralized automotive electronics platforms as automakers move toward software-defined vehicles (SDV).
