French auto parts maker Valeo said it has joined hands with Mobileye to deliver software-defined imaging radars for next-generation driving-assist and autonomous driving features.
This new partnership expands the two companies’ successful collaboration on front-facing cameras and other driver-assist solutions.
Since 2015, the partners have delivered more than 15 million smart front cameras worldwide.
As a key part of sensing systems for automated driving, imaging radar will enable more advanced hands-off solutions and eyes-off features on highways and urban streets.
“Mobileye and Valeo’s imaging radar collaboration significantly advances a new and exciting phase in automotive safety and performance,” said Nimrod Nehushtan, Mobileye’s executive vice-president of business development and strategy.
Valeo said it will lead the system design of the new imaging radar product by integrating Mobileye’s technology and software and algorithms embedded in the Mobileye Radar chipset into Valeo’s automotive software and hardware radar solutions.
Valeo, a world leader in advanced driving-assist functions, has been developing and mass-producing radar technologies since 2006.
