Solid state lidar-based perception systems developer AEye have provided their AE110 system as an integrated component in the Hella demonstration vehicle being presented at IAA.
The two companies announced last January that they had agreed a joint development and manufacturing plan to bring ADAS solutions to global automakers. The physical co-location of AEye’s AE110 solid state lidar-based artificial perception system with Hella’s camera software and radar is the first step to a much tighter integration resulting from this collaboration.
According to AEye, the AE110 system delivers 4 to 8 times the information of conventional first-generation lidar sensors, using a fraction of the time and energy. At IAA, Hella will be demonstrating the capabilities of the AE110, including instantaneous resolution in the form of defining multiple regions of interest within a scene; lidar-first perception; a fully software-definable sensor system with a comprehensive software development kit, and data management tools to import and integrate heterogeneous sensor data.
