Optoelectronic component suppliers Lite-On Technology and semiconductor laser makers II‐VI Incorporated have announced partnership for the volume manufacturing and commercialisation of packaged semiconductor lasers for mass-market lidar.

Veoneer have won a production contract with an unidentified "world-leading" automaker to manufacture a thermal camera for an autonomous vehicle.

Veoneer's products include radars, vision systems, and advanced driver assistance and autonomous

OmniVision have combined their OX03A1Y image sensor with Arm's Mali-C71 image signal processor (ISP) for what they're calling a 'dual-mode automotive camera module'.

OmniVision say their sensor features the automotive industry's best image quality

ADAS alerts are irritating drivers, some of whom react by turning the systems off. That's according to the 2019 J.D. Power Tech Experience Index study. What's more, respondents told J.D. Power they're inclined to avoid the systems in future vehicle purchases.

Solid state lidar-based perception systems developer AEye have provided their AE110 system as an integrated component in the Hella demonstration vehicle being presented at IAA.

Ansys are collaborating with Edge Case Research to engineer the next generation of autonomous vehicles with unmatched state-of-the-art hazard detection capabilities. Through a new agreement, Edge Case Research put their powerful AV artificial intelligence

Bosch say their new camera, which will appear on a vehicle this year, detects objects and their relevance better than the human eye. It's got artificial intelligence to enhance ADAS systems and help pave the way for self-driving cars.

Not only does the camera

Lumotive, the Bill Gates-funded startup developing lidar systems for autonomous vehicles, and Himax Display, a subsidiary of Himax Technologies, will collaborate on beam steering technology in lidar systems that integrates Himax's LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon)

Frost & Sullivan's new AV study predicts that vehicle and mobility automation will bring technology entities together to monetise vehicle and user data to deliver value-added services.
