  QUEBEC,November 25, 2020 — LeddarTech®, a global leader in Level 1-5 ADAS and AD sensing technology, is proud to have been selected by the MILLA Group as the supplier for their cocoon LiDAR sensor. The MILLA Group has selected the award-winning Leddar™ Pixell as the front-end LiDAR for their MILLA POD autonomous shuttle. The Leddar Pixell is the most robust solid-state LiDAR on the market. This sensor provides a 180-degree horizontal field of view (FoV) and can offer 360-degree... [Lire la suite]

  For this newest platform, Ford upgraded the LiDAR sensor suite with an all-new system that sports activities a better decision 128-beam array to offer a 360-degree view. Ford says this helps the check car higher detect repair and shifting objects nearer to the car. Close to-field cameras and short-range LiDAR look forward and to the car’s facet whereas rear-facing sensors assist with objects behind the SUV. Ford stated in 2018 it meant to spend $four billion on autonomous automobiles by 2023, and up to date developments... [Lire la suite]

Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) and Continental today announced that Xilinx will power Continental’s new Advanced Radar Sensor (ARS) 540 with the Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC platform, creating the automotive industry’s first production-ready 4D imaging radar. The collaboration enables newly-produced vehicles equipped with the ARS540 to realize SAE J3016 Level 2 functionalities and will pave the way toward Level 5 autonomous driving systems. 4D imaging radar determines an object’s location in range, azimuth, elevation, and...

Eyesight Technologies, an AI computer vision solutions leader, and Ariel University, one of Israel’s leading national research universities, today announced an ongoing collaboration on the university’s “Mobile Laboratory” (M-Lab). The collaboration is part of Ariel University’s wider study, and will provide Eyesight Technologies with unique datasets to study the state of drivers behind the wheel. The M-Lab test vehicle is equipped with Eyesight Technologies Driver Sense, a driver monitoring system which provides the lab... [Lire la suite]

Ford Motor Company has partnered with the Michigan Science Center (MiSci) to educate the community on the future of transportation, creating MiSci’s first AV exhibit. Built by Ford engineers and developers working closely with MiSci, the installation resembles a vehicle of the future that guests can engage with and explore inside to learn about AVs through interactive displays and a simulation. The exhibit shows how AVs operate and make decisions without a human driver, using data that is collected through 3D maps, cameras, sensors... [Lire la suite]

Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) Sensor Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2018 - 2026 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) Sensor are the backbone of the ADAS architecture. Advanced driver assistance systems are the systems that are employed in vehicles to monitor, warn, and control the vehicles with partial and compete override of the driver. It assist the driver while driving and other activities such as parking where the driver is not entirely able to concentrate on driving and... [Lire la suite]

Sometimes, accurate ADAS sensors are not enough in road safety, there are many cases where accurate ADAS sensors detection is not enough, because dangerous situations come from the notion of "surprise". This video shows some examples : NEXYAD developed a real time dynamical driving risk assessment SafetyNex that reads difficulties of the infrastructure on the digital map. This map is an a priori knowledge that should be used in addition to sensors. To know more : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY2aDm8kfy8

PUNY HUMANS STILL SEE THE WORLD BETTER THAN SELF-DRIVING CARS A CONFIDENCE BOOSTER for you, puny human: The machines don’t have you beat. Yet. Yes, the autonomous car is coming, and fast. Tesla delivered the first of its much-anticipated Model 3s last week, complete with the Autopilot feature that allows the cars to drive themselves on well-marked highways. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class can conquer a roundabout on its own. Companies like Google, General Motors,... [Lire la suite]

Driver assistance: Coming revolution   The three major trends of electrification, connectivity and autonomy all have software in common, according to Thomas Gage and Jonathan Morris from Marconi Pacific   We are on the threshold of a radical change in vehicle technology. No, it’s not automation, although that will come very soon. Instead, change is being driven by the underlying technology for automation that is already here and advancing rapidly; that is, crash avoidance technology delivered by advanced driver...

Elon MUSK says that Tesla will use more than 21 sensors for advanced driver assistant system This week, Tesla announced that all Tesla vehicles produced in their factory – including Model 3 – will have the improved sensors for full self-driving capability. Beginning with vehicles manufactured in late 2014, all new Tesla Model S vehicles come equipped with a camera mounted at the top of the windshield, forward looking radar, and ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers. Triggered by the deadly accident in this... [Lire la suite]
