LeddarTech-Renesas collaboration accelerates autonomous driving, ADAS development

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 18 -- LeddarTech®, a global leader in Level 1-5 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) sensing technology, has announced a strengthened collaboration with Renesas.

This is via joining the R-Car Consortium, and with a new collaboration on the development and promotion of an automotive ADAS reference platform, according to a statement.

This platform combines LeddarTech’s industry-leading raw data sensor fusion stack and LiDAR technology with Renesas’ newly launched R-Car V3U – a best-in-class ASIL D system-on-chip (SoC) for ADAS and AD systems.

According to LeddarTech Chief Executive Officer, Charles Boulanger, Renesas is the market leader in automotive processors.

“Our collaboration on this project accelerates the market introduction of a safer and cost-efficient ADAS system that offers an improved user experience. The solution also enables software for extensible and upgradable ADAS & AD platforms, accelerating subsequent innovation and development cycles.”

Renesas is already investing in LeddarTech SoC development and production for the LeddarEngine™, consisting of the world’s most advanced and integrated LiDAR SoCs, the LCA2 and LCA3, and accompanying LiDAR measurement software.

This automotive ADAS reference platform expands the companies’ collaboration to the system level with a sensor fusion solution applicable to the camera and RADAR sensor-based systems plus systems that add LiDAR to deliver higher safety and performance.
