LeddarTech Unveils the Future of ADAS With the European Launch of the LeddarNavigator Demo Car and Road Show
QUEBEC CITY, Canada, July 31, 2024 — LeddarTech® Holdings Inc. (“LeddarTech”) (Nasdaq: LDTC), an automotive software company that provides patented disruptive AI-based low-level sensor fusion and perception software technology, LeddarVision™, for ADAS, AD and parking applications, is proud to present the high-performance LeddarNavigator. This demo car will showcase the next level in ADAS technology to automotive OEMs and Tier 1s during its tour across Europe beginning July 25, 2024 and ending at Autosens Europe in Barcelona, Spain, on October 10, 2024.
The LeddarNavigator is equipped with the LeddarVision AI-based low-level sensor fusion and perception family of automotive software products. These extend sensor performance beyond what is typically achieved with object-level fusion and address the known cost and performance challenges Tier 1-2 suppliers and OEMs struggle with when developing L2/L2+ ADAS applications.
During the roadshow, LeddarTech will provide live demonstrations of the products developed for entry-level and premium Level 2/2+ ADAS applications that are targeting the stringent 5-star NCAP 2025/GSR 2022 safety standards and highway assist using the LeddarVision platform, including:
- LVS-2+ (LeddarVision Surround-View), a comprehensive fusion and perception software solution designed to elevate ADAS capabilities for premium surround-view, addressing safety and highway assist applications. It scales from a basic 2V4R to an advanced 5V5R sensor configuration.
- LVF-E (LeddarVision Front Entry), an innovative front-view fusion and perception stack that supports highway assist ADAS. It utilizes a streamlined sensor setup of a single front camera and two short-range corner radars, and is combined with Texas Instruments’ TDA4VE processor.
The LVS-2+ and the LVF-E maximize efficiency and performance while minimizing costs, which has been demonstrated and validated in the company’s research and development centers in Tel Aviv (Israel) and Quebec City (Canada). Key performance indicators are available to customers for review upon request.
“The introduction of our European LeddarNavigator is a tremendous step forward for LeddarTech in the European market as it enables us to truly demonstrate the performance of our software in real time to the automotive market as we have done in North America,” stated Antonio Polo, Sr. Vice-President of Product and Business Development at LeddarTech. “This newly released LeddarNavigator is an addition to the company’s fleet of demonstration vehicles, formerly known as LeddarCar in North America, Israel and China. We invite OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to witness firsthand the transformative power of our systems and how they provide real-time insights into the vehicle’s surroundings,” Mr. Polo concluded.
