QUEBEC CITY, Canada – LeddarTech ® Holdings Inc. (“LeddarTech”) ( Nasdaq: LDTC), an automotive software company that provides patented disruptive AI-based low-level sensor fusion and perception software technology, LeddarVision™, for ADAS, AD and parking applications, is pleased to join Ficosa Internacional SA (“Ficosa”), a top-tier global provider devoted to the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of advanced technology vision, safety, connectivity and efficiency systems for the motor and mobility sectors, at Autosens Europe in Barcelona from October 8-10, 2024.
In 2022, LeddarTech and Ficosa established a strategic collaboration to develop a pioneering Intelligent Parking Assistance system. In 2023, this resulted in the successful integration of LeddarTech’s advanced LeddarVision software with Ficosa’s cutting-edge surround-view camera system, along with other sensors such as radars, IMUs and GPS. The collaboration between LeddarTech and Ficosa marks a significant milestone, empowering car manufacturers to deliver an enhanced driving experience while also advancing the development of autonomous vehicles.
During Autosens, LeddarTech will provide live demonstrations of the products developed for entry-level and premium Level 2/2+ ADAS applications using the LeddarVision platform. These applications target the stringent 5-star NCAP 2025/GSR 2022 safety standards and highway assist.
“We’re excited to continue our collaboration with Ficosa at Autosens Europe,” said Antonio Polo, Sr. Vice-President of Product and Business Development at LeddarTech. Mr. Polo continued, “Our recent announcement of the Leddar Navigator European Roadshow highlights our commitment to showcasing the forefront of ADAS technology. The Leddar Navigator demo car will present this cutting-edge technology to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across Europe, with Autosens being a key stop on this journey.”
