Lidar
Light detecting and ranging is the fastest changing technology associated to advanced safety. There is debate surrounding the necessity for lidar to create fully autonomous vehicles. Regardless of opinion, technologists have quickly reduced size and cost to advance its acceptance for mass usage. Size and cost continue to be a main factor in adoption.
Safety Systems (ADAS)
introduction
Enhancing safety systems to reach next level autonomy
The path to a fully autonomous vehicle starts with creating systems that work both individually and in concert to create a safer, more efficient driving experience. Today your supply chains provide hardware and software that inform the driver of potential hazards. At higher levels of autonomy, these will also intervene with the driver to create a safer outcome.
Material choices
To ensure required function and reliability of these systems, optimized material choices need to be made. Your road to success can be achieved faster by innovating for miniaturization, enhanced reliability and the use of unique substrates.
At ESI Automotive we take a holistic view of hardware. This perspective provides solutions that give you greater design freedom through enhanced reliability and increased performance.
