HELLA and AEye seek to extend their strategic partnership to deliver customized sensing and perception solutions for ADAS Automated Driving (AD) based on AEye's iDAR technology. Both parties will combine their complementary know-how and capabilities in their respective domains. AEye's iDAR artificial perception system leads the industry in range and scan rate performance for automotive-grade LiDAR.
iDAR is a new form of intelligent data collection that fuses 1550 nanometer (nm), solid-state agile LiDAR with a low-light HD camera and embedded AI to intelligently capture data at the sensor level. HELLA will bring in its high competence in the field of embedded software and image processing as well as its automotive experience and industrialization capabilities along the entire supply chain to leverage and extend this platform. This joint development effort will bring best-in-class Level 3 ADAS solutions to global automotive OEMs. AEye and HELLA will be demonstrating first results of their already existing cooperation at CES 2019 in Las Vegas, January 8th to 11th, 2019 (Booth #2100, Westgate Convention Center).
AEye, Inc. is a provider of active lidar systems technology for vehicle autonomy, advanced driver-assistance systems, and robotic vision applications. Its software-definable 4Sight Intelligent Sensing Platform combines solid-state active lidar, an optionally fused low-light high dimension camera, and integrated deterministic artificial intelligence to capture intelligent information. 4Sight Intelligent Sensing Platform enables the integration of various types of sensor inputs, including camera, lidar, and radar. 4Sight products are developed on this framework and incorporate both camera and lidar sensors. 4Sight Intelligent Sensing Platform includes 4Sight at Design, Triggered 4Sight, Responsive 4Sight and Predictive 4Sight. 4Sight at Design enables customers to create a single, deterministic scan pattern to deliver optimal information for any specific use case. 4Sight leverages a common architecture to create application-specific products across the automotive and industrial markets.
