QUEBEC CITY, May 13 (Korea Bizwire) – LeddarTech®, an industry leader in LiDAR technology who provides the most versatile and scalable auto and mobility LiDAR platform, announces it will begin volume production of the LeddarTM Pixell Cocoon LiDAR Module with their selected partner Clarion Malaysia, a member of Faurecia Clarion Electronics, a business Group of Faurecia.
The Leddar Pixell is an award-winning 3D solid-state flash LiDAR with a field-of-view of 180-degree designed and tested for off-road, shuttles, robotaxis, delivery, commercial and heavy industry vehicles in addition to other robotic and automated applications where solid-state LiDAR is the best 3D sensing option. The Leddar Pixell provides highly reliable detection of pedestrians, cyclists and other obstacles in the vehicle’s vicinity and is ideal for use in perception platforms that are meant to ensure the safety and protection of vulnerable road users (VRU). The Leddar Pixell is an optimal detection cocoon solution for autonomous vehicle deployment and has already been adopted by leading autonomous vehicle providers in North America, Asia and Europe.
Leddar Pixell integrates LeddarTech’s patented technologies embedded in the state-of-the-art LCA2 LeddarEngineTM. The LCA2 uses LeddarTech’s LeddarSP™ (signal processing software) to produce raw LiDAR data such as distance, position, and intensity of echoes. LCA2 is suitable for a wide range of applications and can be produced in high volumes for rapid mass-market deployment and is ideal for solid-state LiDARs used in AD/ADAS.
“At LeddarTech, we specialize in solid-state LiDAR technologies with open architecture, with more than a decade of delivering LiDAR solutions to customers operating in various harsh environmental conditions demanding 24/7 continuous operation” stated Mr. Charles Boulanger CEO of LeddarTech. “Clarion Malaysia has a world-class reputation and is recognized as an exceptionally reliable, high-quality, leading Tier-1 supplier for the automotive industry, and we are pleased to announce this partnership for the production of the Leddar Pixell.
