Recently, Cepton, a provider of 3D laser radar solutions, announced that it will customize a self-driving miniature laser radar solution for automotive exterior light supplier Koito. It is understood that the new solution can integrate laser radar into vehicle lighting system. .
The high-performance laser pointer radar uses mechanical and friction-free wear technology to detect objects within 300 meters and high-resolution imaging of the surrounding environment. Cepton's lidar sensor's compact design makes it possible to integrate the sensor into the vehicle's lighting system without affecting the streamlined design of the vehicle. Based on Cepton's micro-motion technology (MMT patent) platform, Cepton's lidar sensor has the ability to identify and track objects from all around to obtain a true three-dimensional image of the surrounding environment.
Cepton's CEO and co-founder Jun Jun said, "We are very pleased to be able to integrate advanced laser pointer radar technology into vehicles to improve vehicle safety and reliability. Otaru is the industry leader in automotive lighting, each year in Japan. 60% of OEM car manufacturers provide lighting and occupy 20% of the global automotive headlamp market share. We hope to achieve the goal of small defects by verifying the Cepton laser radar technology."
According to Cepton officials, they will continue to improve their low-power, high-resolution lidar technology integrated in automotive lighting systems. According to Yole's market report, the global automotive laser market will reach $5 billion by 2023 and reach $28 billion by 2032, which will also create huge opportunities for Cepton's high-performance laser radar technology to be applied to global automakers. .
