A CLEAN SWEEP! EV Meets ADAS: Westfield and LeddarTech Present Sensing Mobility Solutions That Increase Safety and Reduce Negative Environmental Impact
In this webinar, we will explore how LeddarTech’s ADAS and AD sensing technology is paving the way to increased efficiency and safety for the needs of today’s automotive and mobility markets. Building on their expertise in the shuttle mobility market, Westfield Autonomous Vehicles have harnessed the benefits of LeddarTech’s LiDAR technology to bring to the market an autonomous surface sweeping vehicle, the AutoSweep, to areas where efficient operation of sweepers is crucial, as is reducing the risks of accidents.
By incorporating LeddarTech’s award-winning Leddar™ Pixell into their AutoSweep platform, the Westfield AutoSweep and the POD Shuttle offer two examples of how this robust, solid-state LiDAR is ideally suited for a multitude of various ADAS and autonomous vehicle deployments including autonomous delivery vehicles, robotaxis, commercial, and off-road vehicles.
This webinar will provide attendees with greater insights into:
- The role of 3D flash LiDAR in today’s urban autonomous vehicle perception systems and the contribution to the vehicle’s architecture.
- Improving autonomous vehicle safety with 3D LiDAR “cocoon” technology through increased visibility and reduced dead zones around the vehicle.
- Above and beyond LiDAR – Full-stack sensing platform making autonomy a reality.
- Identifying the application environments of the autonomous sweeper and an exploration of potential markets such as airports, councils, and sports venues.
- Learning how “foreign object damage” (FOD) costs the aviation industry an estimated $4 billion a year and how the Westfield AutoSweep provides a cutting-edge solution to this issue.
