Mobileye and Volkswagen are about to launch driving functions with enhanced L2 capabilities (‘partially automated’ driving), and are developing L3 functions (‘highly automated’ driving). Volkswagen will also apply these features on vehicles from group brands including Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Porsche.
Stellantis is investing €3.2m into SteerLight’s lidar technology for improved ADAS. This lidar uses light waves to analyse the environment in four dimensions (3D + speed) with enhanced resolution and accuracy. Find more details in the Lidar Technologies section of this newsletter.
