Quebec City, Quebec – Quebec-based LeddarTech has joined forces with German developers, dSPACE, to continue its development of lidar technologies for autonomous driving, according to a press release issued on Wednesday.
This partnership will see the two companies working side-by-side, lending each other their industry-leading technology to further enhance the development of lidar technology.
“The co-operation will support the emulation of new LeddarTech laser sensors in simulation solutions at an early development stage. Moreover, dSPACE will provide simulation models for testing and validation, as well as the sensor simulation environment for validating camera, lidar and radar sensors throughout the development process—accelerating customers project,” according to the press release.
Michael Poulin, v-p of strategic partnerships and corporate development at LeddarTech, spoke further to the opportunities provided by this new partnership.
“OTA simulation is a key innovation for lidar. Integrating LeddarTech’s lidar products and dSpace’s simulation software through a generic sensor interface enables each party to validate products and services to potential customers. Enabling the validation of environmental sensors material properties and weather condition is crucial in simulations. LeddarTech and dSpace will work together on further developing and modelling sensor-specific environmental effects, like rain, fog, spray, etc.”
