Valeo EV - Focus on Automated Driving

Driver assistance tools are slowly evolving into automated driving technologies over time. As original equipment suppliers and manufacturers continue investing in research, the pace of development is picking up. This 50-minute free webinar will give you a broad overview of the latest autonomous driving technologies.
 

Blind-spot detection systems were once state-of-the-art technology, but the latest systems give the vehicle better visibility than a human could ever have from the driver’s seat. Still, not all autonomous cars have the same capabilities. So what is an autonomous vehicle? We’ll explore this question and explain the different levels of autonomous driving, ranging from automatic parking to driverless cars. We’ll also delve into how much driver input is required for each level of autonomous driving. We’ll briefly review the history of automated driving from Leonardo DaVinci to Tesla to give you context for modern-day technologies.
 

Automated systems (ADAS) like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist are already equipping vehicles on sale today. So what can you expect to see in the near future? Learn about the systems being used for semi-autonomous driving like LiDAR. As full self-driving cars require additional technologies to achieve complete driving autonomy, discover how the latest-generation technology like sensors, ECUs, and AI is being integrated into these powerful systems. 

Learn how different sensors in autonomous systems interact to avoid obstacles in real-time. We’ll show how LiDAR scans the road and how it can detect obstacles even with lower visibility. You’ll also discover which systems are suited for short-range versus long-range detection. We’ll explain the benefits of each component and why it is used for that specific function. Additionally, we’ll demonstrate how telematics units are not just improving safety, but allowing manufacturers to interact with vehicles remotely for routine updates. We’ll also explain why Flexray is a better alternative to CAN bus networks for autonomous vehicles.

An autonomous vehicle is convenient, giving the driver back valuable time behind the wheel. But is a self-driving car safe? Yes, any level of autonomous driving has safety benefits for the vehicle occupants and even people outside of the vehicle. Still, how can autonomous driving systems detect hazards better than any human? Discover the benefits of autonomous driving and how it can reduce traffic and increase safety. You’ll also learn about new technologies like flash LiDAR and its advantages over standard LiDAR. 

So why can’t you buy a fully autonomous vehicle today? We’ll explore the primary challenges to overcome in R&D before this technology goes mainstream. These include technological challenges and legal issues like determining who’s at fault in an accident. 

Still, these roadblocks won’t stay in the way forever. We’ll delve into what’s making autonomous driving safer than ever. We’ll also show you the Valeo Drive4U system testing on public roads today and answer common questions about autonomous driving, like when will we see autonomous cars on the road.
