Valeo has won a contract in India for their VSS360 commercial vehicle ADAS, a high-value system at a reasonable cost; we bring you details in this newsletter’s technology news. It’s a cost-optimized safety architecture that can scale from basic regulatory compliance to more advanced assisted-driving functions without forcing OEMs to redesign the entire vehicle platform. By centralizing the computing power in the front camera and reducing the number of dedicated ECUs, Valeo delivers meaningful ADAS functions with limited integration burden and cost.
We also bring you:
- An interview with Fraunhofer FKIE’s Wolfgang Koch about the dual-use revolution. In the late 1980s, military technology was often the innovation driver for civil industry; later, the trend reversed. Large investments are increasingly flowing into military applications of AI and automation.
- A presentation of the China Insurance Automotive Safety Index (C-IASI), IVISTA (China Intelligent Vehicle Index) and C-AHI (China Automotive Health Index.
- Details of the technology used for Bitsensing HDR and Aptiv Gen8 radars, Color lidar from Ouster, MIT phased array slim lidar, Valeo VSS360, and Tesla’s patent for a self-cleaning camera lens with inbuilt wiper.
On 17-18 November, our 9th ADAS/AV DVN Conference will take place in Stuttgart – save the date! See the preliminary docket. A few slots are still available for speakers and exhibitors. Mercedes, BMW, Zenseact (Volvo), and Nio are already confirmed participants.
We’re ever so glad you’re here with us. Enjoy this 51st newsletter!
All best,
