The company is focusing on high-performance LiDAR (light detection and ranging) for vehicles, as well as high value-added vehicle camera modules.
Vehicle camera modules will be needed to fill the role of the driver’s eyes, requiring more precise and advanced sensing functions, the company says.
Last year, the firm purchased approximately 99,173 square meters of land near its manufacturing subsidiary in San Juan de Rio, Mexico, with the intention of expanding its factory.
The newly expanded factory is scheduled to commence mass production of vehicle camera modules in H2 2025.
