Aubergines are like other Solanaceae, in that they are self-pollinating, and being from the Old World seem unlikely to cross with their New World cousins such as tomatoes or peppers. They will potentially cross-pollinate between varieties, though.
Also you have to leave the fruit until it's overripe and inedible in order for the seeds to develop.
