At CES 2022, Valeo's third-generation LiDAR scanner will be making its public debut, before being made available on the market in 2024. Thanks to its laser-based system, this LiDAR scanner can detect objects invisible to the human eye, cameras and radars, located at distances of more than 200 meters.

What's more, its perception and analytical capabilities enable the driver to delegate driving to the vehicle in highway situations.In addition to this long-range sensor, Valeo is adding a newly developed LiDAR for near-vehicle vision, the Valeo NFL (Near Field LiDAR), which will make its world premiere at CES 2022.

Now Valeo has extended its role in assistance and protection to inside the vehicle by creating the intelligent interior. Valeo Safe Insight combines several technologies to (i) identify the driver and alert him or her in the event of distraction or drowsiness, (ii) recognize when passengers are on board and remind them to buckle their seatbelt, and (iii) detect when there is someone in a stationary car and raise the alarm in case a child has been left behind.

lots of potentially relevant innovations here that could be solved with Akida. From the Q+A session Valeo hosted, we are all pretty sure the 2024 gen3 lidar will feature Akida. Very interested to see what other potentials are out there from other companies.
