@CES Black Sesame & Leddartech Partner to Develop Hardware & Software Tech

by

Black Sesame Technologies, a leading intelligent vehicle SoC and solution provider, and LeddarTech® (NASDAQ: LDTC), an automotive software company that provides patented disruptive AI-based low-level sensor fusion and perception software technology for ADAS and AD, announced their partnership to jointly develop and market a comprehensive portfolio of automotive hardware and software technology for the Chinese domestic and global OEM / Tier 1 ADAS/AD market.

Automotive OEMs and Tier 1s arrange a meeting with Black Sesame Technologies and LeddarTech at CES 2024 Las Vegas.

Black Sesame Technologies and LeddarTech are collaborating to provide a joint solution offering for the surround-view premium L2/L2+ ADAS/AD market segment, leveraging Black Sesame Technologies’ A1000 SoC and LeddarTech’s LeddarVision LVS-2+ surround-view premium highway assist and 5-star NCAP/GSR 2022 AI-based low-level fusion and perception stack.

The solution will:

  • Provide a highway “Navigate on Autopilot” (NOA) stack.
  • Enable up to SAE Level 2+ driving and parking functions, including auto-lane change.
  • Feature a high-performing, cost-effective 5-camera 5-radar (5V5R) sensor configuration, eliminating the need for high-resolution side cameras and significantly reducing the sensor and total system costs of legacy solutions based on an 11V5R sensor configuration.

Black Sesame Technologies and LeddarTech will also entertain secondary market opportunities in the front-view entry-level L2/L2+ ADAS/AD segment based on Black Sesame Technologies’ A1000L SoC as well as LeddarTech’s LVF-E comprehensive front-view low-level fusion and perception stack and cost-effective sensor configuration.

Tangible adoption benefits for China-based OEMs and Tier 1s:

  • Reduced development time: Black Sesame Technologies and LeddarTech support the customer with strong and demonstrated domain expertise in ADAS/AD sensor fusion, perception software, and SoCs.
  • Cost efficiency: LeddarTech’s efficient LeddarVision AI-based low-level software eliminates the need for high-resolution side cameras and significantly reduces the sensor and total system costs.
  • Global impact: A joint commitment to global leadership, ensuring widespread influence and market reach, providing rich accumulation for global driving and parking scenarios.
  • Streamlined solutions: Highly scalable SoC platform and fusion/perception architectures for versatile, simplified development, reducing complexity.
  • High-reliability solutions targeting the automotive market and ensuring functional safety.
