Valeo wins advanced radar order from North American EV maker
Valeo has secured a new order from a North American electric vehicle manufacturer to supply a complete corner radar solution—including hardware and embedded software—for the automaker's Level 2+ and Level 3 intelligent driving systems. The latest-generation radar platform is designed to support key safety functions such as automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane keeping assist (LKA), and Safe Exit Protection (SEP), while enabling advanced driving and automated parking capabilities.
The radar system delivers 50 times the resolution of the previous generation and supports OTA upgrades that allow automakers to unlock hands-free driving functionality. Built on a modular platform, the solution can be configured for applications ranging from entry-level ADAS to Level 3 automated driving without increasing hardware complexity. The radar suite complies with global regulatory requirements, supports five-star NCAP safety ratings and the EU General Safety Regulation (GSR), while the forward radar provides detection ranges of up to 250 meters and the corner radar enables functions including blind spot monitoring, lane change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and advanced parking assistance.
