The race for advanced-perception lidar technology is hotting up between leading suppliers Hesai and Robosense. Hesai have introduced their Picasso SPAD-SoC platform, which enables chip-level colour point clouds for their new ETX lidar. And Robosense have revealed new RGBD (red-green-blue-depth) architectures featuring their Phoenix chips, which are slated for production this year. These new products are expected to significantly improve the speed and accuracy of object classification in automotive applications.

About the first and last last items on that list: At DVN, we aim to keep you informed about ADAS and AD sensing, architecture, and applications.
On 17-18 November, our 9th ADAS/AV DVN Conference will take place in Stuttgart – save the date! This year, we will host special sessions on dual-use sensing and on the path to type approval “mastering end-to-end AI systems”.
In the runup to the conference, we are presenting key people and companies, and sharing their results and perspectives in this field. The first in this series was our report on a preview drive with Wayve’s latest vehicle; now comes the Bosch interview, and further instalments will follow every fortnight until the conference begins.
We’re ever so glad you’re here with us. Enjoy this 50th newsletter!
All best,
