SAN JOSE, Calif.-Thursday 20 August 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Velodyne Lidar, Inc. today announced it was selected as “Hardware Supplier of the Year” by a panel of industry expert judges for the TU-Automotive awards.
The award recognizes Velodyne as the top hardware supplier globally
which had a stellar year, specifically relating to its development,
adoption and integration of automotive technology into vehicles.
Velodyne
focuses on delivering high-quality lidar sensor products and helping
deliver the promise of safer mobility. The company once again proved
this by introducing new perception solutions to advance the autonomous
and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) markets. Velodyne
introduced the Puck 32MR™ sensor, a compact sensor with state-of-the-art capabilities. Following that, Velodyne introduced the Alpha Prime™, which provides a world-class combination of field-of-view, range and image quality. The company also launched Velabit™, Velodyne’s
smallest sensor which brings new levels of versatility and
affordability to 3D lidar perception. Velodyne has a diverse product
portfolio with sensors that provide surround view, directional, long-
and close-range capabilities.
In 2019, Velodyne scaled production by licensing core lidar technology to Tier 1 supplier Veoneer for a long-term, high-volume manufacturing agreement with a global automaker. Velodyne also announced an agreement with Hyundai Mobis to
launch a new ADAS-based lidar that integrates Velodyne lidar technology
and Hyundai Mobis cognitive software. The Velodyne VELARRAY™-based
system is designed specifically to advance ADAS features in consumer
vehicles.
“Winning
this prestigious award further demonstrates how Velodyne innovations
are a widespread catalyst for the acceleration of autonomous vehicle
development and enhancing advanced driver assistance systems,” said
