After three years’ existence and seven yearly conferences, we’re expanding the scope of DVN-Lidar to cover innovations in automotive sensing. Lidar will still be prominently featured, of course, but we’ll also be bringing you coverage of radar and cameras. Functions related to automotive sensing will also play a bigger role in the organization of the events.
Why? because lidar technology is reaching maturity with respect to highway pilot and robotaxis, because new technologies are emerging such as IR cameras, and because we see the deployment of L2+ ADAS and L3-4 AD applications becoming mainstream, in turn pulling innovations in sensing and related functions.
It is an evolution, not a revolution; lidar is one of the key sensing solutions for L2+ (and above) AD applications, and we will continue to provide deep and broad reporting, insight, and analysis about lidar. Through this expansion, we will maintain our strong, tight focus and our community-building efforts.
Here is the new framework of DVN-Sensing:
Focus: Sensing solutions for ADAS & AD applications
Newsletters : two monthly newsletters, one for SENSING and one for ADAS/AD applications
Events in 2025 : one Workshop (US), two Conference/Expo (China, Europe)
- DVN AEB Workshop: Sensing Solutions for FMVSS 127 in Detroit, 9-10 April
- EAC Lidar Tech Expo: co-hosted by DVN and Enmore in Hangzhou, 4-6 June
- DVN Sensing Conference: NOA & Lidar in Frankfurt, 17-18 November
