Leti, Transdev, IRT Nanoelec announce pilot program to assess new perception sensor for autonomous vehicles

Pilot will also develop a list of criteria and parameters by which various commercial lidar systems could be evaluated and compared

Leti, a research institute at CEA Tech, has teamed up with Transdev and IRT Nanoelec to start a pilot program to “characterize and assess lidar sensors to improve performance and safety of autonomous vehicles”, the research institute said in a press release on 5 July. Leti said its team will focus on perception requirement and challenges from lidar system perspective and evaluate the sensors in real-world environment.
