LeddarTech says Valeo has added a new low-cost, solid-state LiDAR based on Leddar technology to its portfolio of driving and parking assistance solutions.
The LiDAR, developed by Valeo, together with LeddarTech, will have no mechanical moving parts and will be the least expensive LiDAR sensor on the market maintains LeddarTech.

Using its proprietary receiver, ASIC, with 16 detection segments, the LiDAR sensor, powered by LeddarTech signal processing, will provide sensing performance to detect pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles and cars.
Its optical system also enables a detection range of up to 100 metres.
The new sensor can enable various functions from Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) to Right Turn Assist (RTA) features (for commercial vehicles).
It can also contribute to automated driving functions, such as traffic jam assist or automated parking. The sensor works as well at night, in low light situations, and in adverse weather conditions, such as rain or fog.
