Unlocking LiDAR technology for European OEMS: For a future of smart and safe Traffic and Mobility

Project description

Improved LiDAR for smart cars

Preparing for a future of self-driving cars has led to a crucial need for better detection technology so as to reduce the dangers present to both passengers and people outside the vehicle. Despite advancements in current detection technologies, the safety present in current automated vehicles is questionable. The EIC-funded SE€ project aims to change that by developing an innovative solution based on light detection and ranging, or LiDAR. This technology will use a one-of-a-kind light-based 3D measurement system as well as a novel semiconductor-based design that will allow for increased robustness and decreased cost and size while maintaining its high efficiency. This solution will revolutionise the automotive industry while maintaining a competitive price.

Objective

Xenomatix is radically innovating the standard operating principle of LiDAR by introducing a light-based 3D measurement system, and is the first to design the by market defined holy grail being a true solid state LiDAR. XenomatiX’s unique all semiconductor-based design is first to meet cost, size, and robustness requirements without compromising measurement performance.
XenoLiDAR, XenomatiX high-resolution true solid-state LiDAR generates 8D environmental measurement data (2D, 3D, intensity images, time and confidence levels) guaranteeing superior detection reliability. With zero moving parts, XenoLidar is a complete system-on-chip as demanded by automotive OEMs. Abandoning traditional light projection schemes and radically turning around how light is projected into the environment, XenomatiX reveals the 1st true solid-state LiDAR with 100% proven silicon components to supply the B€ automotive Lidar market.
