Dibotics will present its major breakthrough for Autonomous Driving at CES in Las Vegas
Thanks to Dibotics’ know-how in LiDAR (Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging) data processing and an integrated special infrared transparent glass conceived by AGC Automotive the first LiDAR solution inside the vehicle has been developed. The innovation will be presented in the Dibotics booth and its LiDAR partners’, during CES at Las Vegas 9-12 January.
"We found the same innovation spirit in the AGC Automotive and Wideye teams and we’re delighted to have contributed to this major breakthrough for Autonomous Driving,” said Raul Bravo, CEO of Dibotics.
There are several reasons why seamless integration of LiDAR inside the vehicle is a major step for industry:
* The LiDAR sensor is fully protected inside the vehicle cabin and does not require extensive sealing
* The aperture of the LiDAR is kept clear in all conditions with windshield features (wipers, defrosting, …)
* LiDAR is fully effective in a high mounting position, for the best long-range vision
* The LiDAR data can be combined with other sensors around the car to offer the best redundancy of data
* Each sensor is totally hidden inside the vehicle, behind IR glass windshield and/or behind IR glass trims
As automotive glass manufacturer leader, AGC Automotive has created a dedicated entity, totally devoted to autonomous vehicles and LiDAR integration: Wideye.
“The ecosystem of autonomous vehicles deserves all our attention and a dedicated service to face new challenges” said Michel Meyers, Mobility Business Development ...
