Byton K-Byte: futuristic sedan with retractable LiDAR, which the company calls LiGuards. Mounted behind the front wheels, the LiGuards deploy when the car is put into AD mode. After parking, they are retracted. An additional function is the ability of the LiGuards to be “illuminated for a range of specific purposes, such as signaling pedestrians.” As well as the LiDAR in the front wings/fenders, a roof-mounted so-called ‘LiBow’ features. This elegant, slim central rail carries front and rear facing lidar sensors.
Future Mobility, the company behind the Byton brand, is working with Aurora on Level 4 semi-autonomous technology, hoping to have it ready for production in the early 2020s.
