Yes, they do. The self driving tech itself is powered by Intel/Mobileye. Then yes, they will use suppliers like Delphi for the integration.
Feels like they are doing this as a cost-cutting move in my opinion. COVID has caused factory costs to go up while auto demand has gone down. As a result, BMW seems to be removing features instead of increasing price.
