Velodyne Executive Addresses How Velodyne Provides Breakthrough Lidar Technology for Autonomy and Driver Assistance
Summary
The Velodyne Velarray™ provides best-in-class range, resolution, and field of view to facilitate robust object detection, allowing for longer braking distance and increased safety. Gradu will review the critical success factors in testing and validation that lidar sensors must achieve to support vehicle autonomy and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). During his presentation, Gradu, a distinguished engineer who is an Officer and the 2018 President of SAE International, will propose that the autonomous vehicle (AV) community work together – in a non-competitive way – to identify requirements and methods for lidar sensor testing and validation. Velodyne has more than a decade of experience in the manufacturing and validation of lidar sensors that support the stringent safety and reliability requirements of automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. In 2005, Velodyne’s Founder and CEO, David Hall, invented real-time surround view lidar systems, revolutionizing perception and autonomy for automotive, new mobility, mapping, robotics, and security.
