Veoneer said its stereo vision and radar products will be used with Mercedes-Benz’s Drive Pilot system to support level 3 self-driving from autumn.
The fourth generation stereo vision camera system is a mix of fully integrated hardware and perception software to master the challenges of highly automated driving.

The camera system uses Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) technology in combination with 3D stereo for accurate classification and positioning of objects in front of the vehicle.
Functions enabled by the stereo camera are lane detection, free space, small obstacle detection and 3D objects classification. Additionally, the stereo camera is contributing to the detection of emergency vehicles and construction warning trailers to support level 3 driving.
The 77GHz radar, generation 1.2 including corner radars, offer high range resolution and angular accuracy. The radar has been adapted since launch to additionally support the HAF-Level 3 product. Veoneer Radars are an important component contributing to the vehicles spatial awareness, which is increasingly important for the HAF-Level 3 use cases. Built upon novel algorithms, the resulting performance provides superior angular resolution allowing the Drive Pilot system to discern pedestrians, and vehicles.
Drive Pilot is a level 3 system and the car can take control under certain conditions, but the driver needs to be ready to retake the wheel when needed within 10 seconds.
