To further speed up autonomous driving technology development, lidar producers are strengthening their coöperation with strategic partners:
• 3D lidar specialists Cepton have partneredp with autonomous vehicle solution specialist Dataspeed. Through the partnership, Dataspeed’s customers will have access to Cepton lidar technology for the development and deployment of autonomous applications.
Cepton recently unveiled their Vista-Edge™ lidar evaluation Kit, a plug-and-play device with all necessary software and tools pre-installed to view and analyse the lidar’s 3D point cloud of data.
• AEye reported investment by Aisin, as described elsewhere in this week’s DVN. The company will launch their lidar products in the second half of this year.
• Quanergy announced they have achieved compliance with the automotive standard IATF 16949:2016 and the required automotive core tools and product standards. With this compliance, Quanergy are ready to produce solid-state lidar sensors for use in a wide range of automotive applications.
