KUALA LUMPUR, June 4 (Bernama) -- LeddarTech®, an industry leader in automotive and mobility LiDAR technology, has announced its selection by COAST Autonomous for its autonomous shuttles.
COAST Autonomous, founded by veterans of the self-driving industry, chose LeddarTech’s technology because of its ability to deliver enhanced safety for COAST Autonomous’ vehicles.
LeddarTech’s robust and reliable solid-state technology meets today’s demanding mobility conditions and makes it the technology of choice towards preventing collisions in stop-and-go applications by eliminating dead zones left by other sensing technologies.
COAST Autonomous has developed self-driving vehicles that integrate several detection technologies, including LiDAR, RADAR, and camera. LeddarTech’s LiDAR provides full coverage with no dead zones within the entire perimeter of the vehicle, also referred to as the cocoon. This protects vulnerable road users such as pedestrians who may approach the vehicle in stop-and-go situations.
LeddarTech’s cocoon LiDAR provides a unique solution enabling safe, fully autonomous vehicles.
“With the intent of providing the safest rides to our passengers, our selection of detection technologies takes into consideration the maturity of the partners we work with, and their ability to consistently deliver on their promises,” said COAST Autonomous Chief Technology Officer, Pierre Lefevre.
LeddarTech Global Sales and Business Development VP Adrian Pierce said: “COAST has an amazing track record with over 60 trials in seven countries and (an) impressive history of transporting over 120,000 passengers.”
