Various Sensor Technologies Help ZF Develop New Laser Radar

[China Instrument Network Instrument Development] On August 9, ZF announced that it has acquired 40% of the shares of Ibeo Automotive Systems. The company was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. It is dedicated to the application of technology in the field of automated driving and is a market leader in the development of laser radar technology and environmental recognition software. Ibeo's customers are all over the world's major car manufacturers.

“The Lidar is a core technology for environmental recognition and target recognition,” said Stefan Sommer, ZF CEO Stefan Sommer, explaining the need for ZF to invest in Ibeo, “ Lidar expands our existing sensor portfolio that includes only radar and camera technology, and Ibeo's fusion of the three sensor technologies demonstrates its outstanding results in the field of environmental recognition and provides the basis for autonomous driving technology."

Lidar, which is called "laser detection and measurement," emits light pulses during operation, and determines the distance based on the operating time and the speed of light. Lidar is a photometric method for measuring distance and velocity, very similar to radar, except that laser pulses are used instead of radio waves.

The cooperation between ZF and Ibeo will bring about a leap in future technology and an important step for automotive applications: The new generation of laser radar technology developed jointly by both parties can reproduce 3D images of the surrounding environment, and can eliminate the current Lidar. Rotating mirror in the system. With solid-state technology, laser radar technology will become more compact, compact and easier to install.

“The philosophy of “observation-thinking-action” adhering to ZF highlights the fact that we will create cutting-edge technologies for future cars through new sensor technologies and intelligent systems. To achieve this goal, we Gradually we are filling in gaps in our current technology portfolio,” said Dr. Sommer. “With the combination of laser radar technology and sensor integration, we can enhance the information identification and information processing capabilities of future generations of vehicles to further realize 'zero accident driving'. Future vision."

The history of Ibeo dates back to 1998. With the rapid development of the sensor system and environmental recognition market, the company expects to increase from approximately 50 to 250 employees in the medium term and establish an Autonomous Driving Competitiveness Development Center (AD-CC). The center will focus on mass production and marketing programs for highly automated and automated driving.

For the participation of ZF, Dr. Ulrich Lages, chief executive of Ibeo, said: “We are very much looking forward to working with ZF. We now have a very strong and committed to building the future of car safety, efficiency and Partners in the auto-driver megatrend, with our comprehensive expertise and 3D laser radar technology, we are able to make all driver assistance applications reach a level of highly automated driving.”

ZF is the world's leading supplier of drive and chassis technology and active and passive safety technology. The ZF Group completed the acquisition of TRW on May 15, 2015, and was integrated into ZF's active and passive safety technology division. The new company achieved sales of 29.2 billion euros in 2015. It currently has approximately 230 manufacturing companies in approximately 40 countries and employs 138,300 employees. To ensure continuous innovation and research and development capabilities, ZF annually 5% of sales are invested in research and development (1.4 billion euros in 2015). ZF is one of the world's largest suppliers of automotive parts.
