Under the agreement, the duo will leverage Black Sesame Technologies' A1000 autonomous driving chip and LeddarTech's underlying fusion and perception software, LeddarVision LVS-2+. Together, they will offer a solution based on advanced surround-view reuse for the L2 and L2+ ADAS/AD market.
This comprehensive solution includes a high-speed NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) software stack, enabling features up to SAE L2+, encompassing automated lane-changing and parking functions. By maximizing the 5V5R sensor configuration, the need for high-resolution lateral cameras is eliminated, effectively reducing sensor and system costs compared to traditional 11V5R solutions.
Simultaneously, the partners will expand opportunities in the entry-level forward-facing L2/L2+ ADAS/AD market. Leveraging Black Sesame Technologies' A1000L chip and LeddarTech's comprehensive forward-facing fusion and perception software stack LVF-E, this initiative includes a cost-effective sensor configuration, contributing to accumulated experience in global autonomous driving and parking scenarios.
For automakers and Tier1 suppliers, the practical advantages of this collaborative solution are significant – shorter development cycles, reduced system costs, enhanced global influence, and a platformized solution emphasizing high security and reliability.
