TriLumina Corp. Named a "Cool Vendor" in Automotive Electronics, 2015 by Gartner
Summary
The Cool Vendors in the report develop innovative technologies in the areas of LiDAR, driver monitoring systems (DMS) and machine vision for automotive applications. James Hines, Research Director at Gartner, Inc. and co-author of the report, wrote, “Modern cars will rely on a family of complementary sensing technologies to enhance the situational awareness of the driver, assist in collision avoidance and eventually automate the driving function. Lidar holds great promise as an automotive sensing technology because of its high degree of precision in direct ranging, free space detection (detecting whether an object is in a particular place at a particular time) and immunity to light conditions and its ability to scan a wide range of view.” "We believe Gartner’s recognition confirms TriLumina’s strategy to produce illuminators that enable mass adoption of solid state LiDAR and DMS that will prevent accidents, save lives and enable considerably higher fuel-efficiency," said Kirk Otis, TriLumina’s Chief Executive Officer. It is not an exaggeration to claim that nearly every OEM and Tier 1 supplier is looking to develop LiDAR for future safety systems leading to autonomous driving." TriLumina is providing illumination for Advance Driver Assistance System (ADAS), autonomous operation, as well as sensing for the industrial robotics and consumer electronics markets.
