Innoviz Technologies has partnered with Vueron Technology to build an autonomous driving platform for LiDAR-only self-driving vehicles. Innoviz is a leading provider of high-performance, solid-state LiDAR sensors and perception software, while Vueron is a solution provider of LiDAR perception software and autonomous driving technology.
Vueron received one of the few self-driving permits issued by the South Korean government last January, and it executed a 414-kilometre, fully automated, LIDAR-only drive from the capital city of Seoul to the southern port city of Busan, at a maximum speed of 100 km/hr. The mandated safety driver on board did not hold the steering wheel at all during the entire five hours of the historic drive.
Omer Keilaf, CEO & Co-founder, Innoviz, said, “We are impressed by Vueron’s high-performance LiDAR perception software and appreciate their unique understanding of the automotive LIDAR market in South Korea. Innoviz’s LiDAR and Vueron’s software jointly enable an accurate and reliable LiDAR solution that meets the needs of customers in this region. We are looking forward to joining together with Vueron and pioneering the future of autonomous driving with them.”
Joseph Kim, CEO, Vueron, said, “We see InnovizOne as the front-runner in LiDAR technology and design and highly recommend it to our peers. We look forward to many years of fruitful cooperation, using Innoviz LiDAR in our solutions for ADAS, autonomous vehicles, industrial safety, IoT and security systems.”
