Valeo have entered into a strategic coöperation in the field of last mile Autonomous Delivery with Meituan, China’s leading e-commerce platform for services as well as the largest on-demand food delivery platform in China. Both partie
There’s a great deal of buzz about driver- and machine-vision systems merging and ADAS gradually giving way to AD systems as a stepping stone on the path toward AVs. That’s good and appropriate; these are crucial key things we’re all working on, and the work goes faster and better when we talk about it.
But how do we actually get there? How do we actually achieve the fusion of sensors and cameras and lights? How do we accelerate the proliferation of ADAS and AD systems? More to the point, how do we do it in ways that are effective, cost-effective, and affordable? An old-time auto industry truism holds that it’s much harder to design a water pump for a Chevrolet than for a Rolls-Royce: both have to do the job adequately and without fail for a reasonable number of years and kilometres, but the Chevrolet pump has to be engineered and built to much tighter cost constraints.

At the DVN US Workshop near Detroit on 14-15 January I was pleased to lead the 15th regulatory session, with the rubric “Vision for the Future of Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulation”.
At CES 2019, Hyundai Mobis showed their latest Communication Lighting concept, which uses an “Indicating Lighting Zone” to indicate when an autonomous vehicle is operating in self-driving mode. The concept also includes a “Communication Lighting
Authorities in the Indian state of Kerela are aggressively cracking down on headlamp hacks. Anyone with an “HID kit” or “LED conversion” in their headlamps stands to have their driving licence and vehicle registration canceled by order of the state Transport Commissioner.
Jaguar-Land Rover have developed technology for self-driving cars that uses light to show pedestrians and other road users the car’s intent.
By projecting rows of parallel bars onto the road surface, people near equipped vehicles
Optronics, a US supplier of lighting devices for heavy-duty vehicles, have launched a new website featuring their also-new catalogue. The company say their new website and catalogue will make it easier to browse and learn about their product range of over
A set of standards to make fully autonomous vehicles safe to test, develop, and use in Singapore has been created, spelling out expectations such as how fast such vehicles should travel and the space between them on the road.
One of the many benefits almost taken for granted as a sure thing in the AV-driven future is reduced urban congestion: the theory goes that AVs will head off to their next task rather than sit unused in a parking space.
But that idea might rest on shaky ground.
