Delphi enters commercial partnership agreement with LeddarTech

US-based supplier also makes minority investment in Canadian Lidar start-up

Delphi has signed a commercial partnership agreement with Canada-based Lidar specialist LeddarTech, the US-based automotive supplier said in a press release on 14 September. The companies will collaborate on developing a low-cost, corner Lidar solution. “There is increasing customer demand for solid-state Lidar as the time to market for autonomous vehicles is being accelerated,” said Glen De Vos, senior vice president and chief technology officer (CTO) of Delphi. “LeddarTech technology has the right level of discrimination and range for Lidar sensing solutions placed around the corners of the vehicle,” De Vos said.
