VEONEER, INC. Automation and electrification are the two megatrends in the car industry . Automation just took a big step forward when Mercedes got internationally valid approval for L3 conditional self-driving. Congratulations Mercedes-Benz, the first car-maker to receive an internationally valid system approval for driving L3 conditionally automated driving. When the Mercedes-Benz DRIVE PILOT takes full control in heavy traffic up to 60 km/hours, the drivers are now legally allowed to do other things instead.
Veoneer's world-class products are an integral part of the Drive Pilot system. Veoneer's 4th generation stereo vision camera system is comprised of fully integrated hardware and perception software to master the challenges of highly automated driving. The stereo vision camera system uses Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) technology in combination with 3D stereo for accurate classification and positioning of objects in front of the vehicle. Functions enabled by the stereo camera are lane detection, free space, small obstacle detection and 3D objects classification. Additionally, the stereo camera is contributing to the detection of emergency vehicles and construction warning trailers to support level 3 driving.
Veoneer's 77GHz radar, generation 1.2 including corner radars, offer high range resolution and angular accuracy. The radar has been adapted since launch to additionally support the HAF-Level 3 solution. Veoneer Radars are an important component contributing to the vehicles spatial awareness, which is increasingly important for the HAF-Level 3 use cases. Built upon novel algorithms, the resulting performance provides superior angular resolution allowing the Drive Pilot system to discern pedestrians, and vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz DRIVE PILOT system is a prime example of collaborative driving; as a level 3 system, the car can take control under certain conditions, but the driver needs to be ready to retake the wheel when needed within 10 seconds.
