The experts in the field will focus on the advanced development of environmental sensing technologies, incl. mechanical, solid-state, and flash LiDAR and their components and applications to enrich vehicle performance, safety, and driver experience, and to enable the next level of sensing in highly automated driving.

About the Automotive Sensors & Electronic Event

While improvements to sensor technology are vital to developing fully autonomous, self-driving cars, and automotive electronics have been steadily increasing in quantity and sophistication,

The question is, "Which sensors are the best for autonomous vehicles? Lidar, radar, or camera?"

When Tesla is solving the LiDAR vs. radar vs. camera challenge with the eight cameras, a front radar, and ultrasonic sensors, and Waymo is focused on LiDAR, others add more radars or night-vision cameras. Even though the camera approach is cheaper, it requires a lot of processing power. From the other perspective, LiDAR can function in conditions of heavy rain, snow, wind, or fog. Still, its performance will be drastically degraded, and a large footprint, high cost, and other limitations prevent it from easy integration into the auto.

A safe and highly automated driving experience is created through an efficient combination mix of technologies:

• LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging)
• RADAR (Radio Detection And Ranging)
• CAMERA
• V2X (vehicle-to-everything) communication
• Vision-based alternative systems

This balanced combination of image & AI-based perception systems and the hybrid multi-sensor fusion-based approach enables a highly accurate and precise object detection, image recognition, and driving experience decision-making reservoir in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which is as a precursor to the market for autonomous ;

With the key players in the industry, we will discover:

• advantages of LiDAR, radar and camera concepts
• pros and cons of sensing technologies within the context of existing L2/L3 vehicles
• critical aspects of image-based systems to accelerate Level 4 (L4) and Level 5 (L5) autonomous cars

Join the experts at the online spin-off of the 6th Automotive Sensors & Electronics #VLautoSE - LIDAR, Radar and Camera Online Summit on 17 -18 February 2021, and:

• analyze use cases and applications for LiDAR, radar, and camera
• present advanced developments, and identify potential partnerships around sensing technologies
• explore novel sensing and perception systems, enabling self-driving car, and the corresponding future expectations

See you virtually at #VLiDAR in February ;
