Presentation

High Definition sensors redundancy and complementarity for extended autonomous vehicle ODD

The audience will learn:

• First commercialized Automated Driving systems for low speed (TJC 60Kph) enabled by 3 sensors technologies : camera, radar, Lidar
• Extension to higher speed (130Kph) with critical use-cases (eg. Lost Cargo) requires high definition sensors
• Valeo provides HD Lidar and HD Radar with increasing performances. These sensors are complementary but also bring redundancy
• ODD extension enabled by the thermal camera which is an excellent sensor to detect VRU & animals in all conditions
