27 attendees joined at the Hotel Novi for the Lidar Deep Dive workshop; they came from GM, Aeva, Cepton/Koito, Hesai, Innoviz, Robosense, Luminar, Valeo, Voyant, AMS Osram, AGC Wideye, FKA, NTT, Hitachi High Tech, Saint Gobain, and Steerlight. Presentations and detailed meeting minutes are available for attendees and DVN-Lidar Gold members.
Here’s a summary of the proceedings:
Session 1
Lidar L3 / Business Conditions (Luminar)
Lidar L2+ / benefits & use-cases (Robosense)
L3 Edge cases (Valeo): which technology for which edge case
L3 applications (Valeo): OEMs ASIL-D requirements lead to a combination of sensors
Session 2
SW defined Lidar (Cepton): new Long Range Lidar from Cepton
FMCW (Voyant): Concept for a low-cost FMCW Lidar concept using components from the shelf (synergy with telecom applications)
Lidar Growth (DVN) – The key factors:
Competition btw Vision, radar, Lidar systems
Market requirements and applications: EU, US, CN
Deployments of AVs: maturity of L2/L2+ systems, robotaxis
Safety will be the key to wider adoption, for L2+ as for L3,4
Lidar Standardization activities (fka GmbH) – status in EU,US,CN
Main topics discussed during the Break-out sessions:
Markets: Is there spec differentiation between China and ROW ?
NHTSA ruling for Pedestrian detection in the dark: which technology can support?
How to define lidar Range in a standard manner ?
What are some of the packaging constraints and how do you design around it ?
What are the impacts of noise to the consumer (from the Lidar unit)
How do we map use cases to test conditions at point cloud level better ?
Is there something that lidar vendors are looking for cleaning ?
