The collaboration with NVIDIA will allow a more functional and agile design for the integration of LiDAR in the automotive industry
Sunnyvale, March 19, 2024 – Seyond, one of the world’s leading providers of high-performance LiDAR solutions for autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation, has announced its collaboration with NVIDIA to integrate Seyond’s next-generation LiDAR solutions into platforms. NVIDIA DriveWorks and NVIDIA Omniverse. The combination of Seyond’s LiDAR technology with NVIDIA’s extensive automotive development solutions will transform the way autonomous vehicles are designed, developed and tested. As part of this collaboration, NVIDIA GPU hardware will be used in conjunction with Seyond LiDAR to process point cloud data quickly and accurately to improve autonomous driving capability. NVIDIA DriveWorks is the foundation of the development and software deployment for autonomous vehicles and now offers Seyond LiDAR as one of its many versatile tools. With this latest integration, developers can use the DriveWorks platform, with its automotive-grade middleware and accelerated algorithms, to more easily and efficiently integrate Seyond’s LiDAR technology into their vehicle design. NVIDIA Omniverse is a platform for application programming interfaces (APIs), software development kits (SDKs) and services that allow developers to easily integrate universal scene description (OpenUSD) and RTX rendering technologies into their 3D applications and services. These applications include high-fidelity physics simulation for autonomous vehicle (AV) development. Seyond’s high-performance LiDAR sensors offer exceptional point-to-point accuracy and ultra-long range capabilities to provide unprecedented accuracy over a wide range of applications, including AVs. The company’s flagship Falcon Ultra-Long Range LiDAR sensor has a detection range of 500 meters and produces 1,500 configurable scan lines per second to create a 3D point cloud image, allowing you to easily detect and classify objects on and near the road. Falcon’s unrivaled combination of ultra-long range and image-grade resolution provides automakers with the highest level of safety for autonomous driving and driver assistance capabilities. It has been a standard configuration of the Aquila system for eight NIO models, including the ET7, ES7 and ET5, since 2022 and is also integrated into Faraday Future’s FF91 Futurist models. “The integration of Seyond’s LiDAR solutions into DriveWorks and Omniverse is indicative of our commitment to producing high-quality, rigorously tested LiDAR solutions to drive the development of safer, smarter and more efficient autonomous driving and intelligent infrastructure solutions around the world,” said Ezana Tesfu, Business Development Director at Seyond. “Through this integration, we look forward to collaborating with NVIDIA on new and innovative ways to help our automotive OEM customers develop and scale smarter, highly functional autonomous driving applications.” Seyond is a member of NVIDIA Inception, a program that encourages the creation of new companies that revolutionize industries with technological advances.About Seyond Seyond is a leading global provider of image quality LiDAR technology that drives a safer, smarter and more mobile world in the automotive, transportation sectors intelligent, robotics and industrial automation. Founded in Silicon Valley and with strategically located research and manufacturing facilities around the world, Seyond develops LiDAR solutions that improve autonomous driving and drive the development of smart infrastructure. The company’s dynamic product portfolio, including the ultra-long-range Falcon LiDAR sensor, the Robin medium- and short-range LiDAR sensor, and the OmniVidi perception services software platform, powers automotive and ITS solutions for partners such as NIO, NVIDIA, Exwayz and Hexagon. With hundreds of thousands of Seyond LiDAR sensors already in use in automotive and non-automotive applications around the world, and with total annual production capacity expected to exceed half a million units by the end of 2024, Seyond is illuminating the way forward for the world to see more intelligently (See Smarter™).More information at: https://www.seyond.com/Related video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= Evx3xOvhHeY
