Velodyne Lidar is going to demonstrate its LiDAR solutions at the SmartDrivingCar Summit on May 15-16 in Princeton, N.J., USA.

The SmartDrivingCar Summit examines the fundamental economic forces of supply, demand, and public oversight driving deployment and commercialization of vehicle autonomy. The event is co-chaired by Professor Alain Kornhauser of Princeton University and features academic, industry, and government experts discussing the safety benefits of self-driving cars, regulatory challenges, mobility and community service benefits, and technology.

Velodyne Lidar will showcase Velodyne Alpha Puck, a LiDAR sensor specifically made for autonomous driving and advanced vehicle safety at highway speeds, and Velodyne Velarray, a powerful LiDAR for driver assistance, during the event.

In a summit session, Vidya Devarasetty, Global Automotive Business Development Manager at Velodyne Lidar, will examine the current LiDAR technology and the near-term technological opportunities.

“It is time to move past the hype and accelerate the commercialization and deployment of SmartDriving technology so society can begin to capture its benefits,” said Professor Kornhauser. “The SmartDrivingCar Summit looks to build a welcoming environment for smart mobility for cars, buses, and trucks. The event gathers thought leaders, such as Velodyne Lidar, so they can explore how to work together to more quickly achieve safe, convenient mobility for everyone, especially the mobility disadvantaged.”
