Data Control Technitic Reportedly In OEM Talks
With Asian Automaker
1888 Press Release - Data Control Technitic is
said to be in preliminary talks with an Asian
motor manufacturer to supply 4th generation LiDAR
sensors. Hong Kong-based LiDAR innovator, Data
Control Technitic is refusing to officially
confirm or deny suggestions that it is in
preliminary-stage talks with an Asian motor
manufacturer about the prospect of supplying
LiDAR sensors as Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM) for a forthcoming self-driving, electric
city vehicle. A source at Data Control Technitic
with knowledge of the discussions says that talks
revolve around the companys latest next
generation LiDAR sensors which reportedly utilize
high definition video cameras and the likelihood
that they will be fully tested and supply-ready
by the time the as-yet-unnamed auto manufacturer
begins a series of controlled trials in an urban
environment. The company would neither confirm
that talks were taking place nor even that a next
generation LiDAR sensor was in production but its
Chief Technology Officer reiterated that Data
Control Technitic was always open to
collaboration and mutually beneficial
partnerships with technology partners wanting to
avail themselves and their products of the
enormous potential of LiDAR. The relentless
development of autonomous cars continues with
almost all of the major global automakers
planning to feature at least one self-driving
model in their electric car line-up. LiDAR
innovation has gathered pace with key developers
pushing the envelope of the technologys scope
far beyond what it was even two or three years
ago. The source said that, although talks were
still at an early stage, the automakers
delegation had been impressed with demonstrations
of two electric vehicles equipped with Data
Control Technitics current LiDAR sensors at the
companys proving ground. http//www.datacontrolt
