This 3D solid-state LiDAR cocoon solution is specially designed
for autonomous vehicles such as shuttles, robotaxis, commercial and delivery
vehicles ‒ enabling best-in-class safety through enhanced detection and
robustness
LeddarTech®, an industry leader in LiDAR technology who provides the most versatile and scalable auto and mobility LiDAR platform™ in the market, introduces the Leddar™ Pixell a 3D flash LiDAR powered by the LCA2 LeddarEngine , designed explicitly for autonomous vehicles.
Leddar™ Pixell provides highly dependable detection of pedestrians, cyclists and other obstacles in the vehicle’s surroundings and is suitable for perception platforms that are developed to ensure the safety and protection of passengers and Vulnerable Road Users (VRU). The Leddar Pixell is an optimal detection cocoon solution for autonomous vehicle deployment and has already been adopted by over a dozen leading autonomous vehicle providers in North America and Europe.
The
Leddar Pixell has been shortlisted for the ”Best in Class Perception System” award
by Autosens. The winners will be announced on September 18 in Brussels.
“Leddar Pixell
compensates for the limitations of mechanical scanning LiDAR used for
geo-positioning which generate blind areas that can reach several meters”
stated Michael Poulin, Vice-President of Product Management at LeddarTech. “By
enabling superior dependability of detection in the vehicle’s surroundings
without any dead zones or blind spots, Leddar™ Pixell uniquely answers the
urgent market requirements to deploy autonomous vehicles with the highest
degree of safety for passengers and road users. In addition to autonomous
vehicles, the sensor is a highly efficient detection solution to cover critical
blind spots on large commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses, contributing
to increased road safety.”, continued Mr. Poulin.
Leddar™ Pixell
integrates LeddarTech’s patented technology embedded in the state-of-the-art LCA2 LeddarEngineTM, which consists of a highly
integrated LeddarCore™ SoC and LeddarSP digital signal processing software.
LeddarTech also offers the LeddarEngine to automotive LiDAR developers and
other LiDAR makers, accelerating the availability of high quality, tailored LiDAR
solutions to a broad and ever-growing range of LiDAR applications and markets.
LeddarTech
will be officially unveiling Leddar™ Pixell in Canada at CAV19 Canada in Ottawa on Sept. 10th, in
Europe at Autosens Brussels from September 17-19 and in the US
at Automotive LiDAR 2019 on September 25th-26th
in Detroit, Michigan.
