The Swedish carmaker showed off an electric crossover, the Concept Recharge, at Luminar’s booth at CES today in Las Vegas and said it will also apply for an autonomous test permit in California, where the vehicle will be launched. Automotive tech developer Zenseact is partnering with Volvo and Luminar to provide software, additional sensors and computer system to power Volvo’s Ride Pilot automated driving feature.
Lidar’s ability to “see” surroundings in 3D, in daylight or at night, has made it a critical technology for self-driving tech developers. In contrast to early industry leader Velodyne, which pioneered spinning, multi-laser lidar sensors to create detailed “point cloud” maps, Luminar’s approach is a lower-cost, single laser system that the company says requires less energy to operate and makes it easier to integrate into a vehicle’s roofline or body.
Even customers that don’t sign up for Volvo’s Ride Pilot offering will improve the system as the sensors on their vehicles will collect traffic and road condition data that will be shared by all vehicles on the platform, said Zenseact CEO Odgard Anderson.
