Full autopilot Audi A8 with mechatronic system from NTN-SNR and Valeo

NTN-SNR has perfected the high-resolution angle sensor, a key part of Valeo's SCALA (trade name) lidar now fitted as standard in the Audi A8. For the first time, a vehicle will feature the functions of a level-3 “eyes off” autonomous vehicle driving under 60 km/h on a two-lane road separated by a central reservation. The sensor stems directly from NTN-SNR's know-how in this respect since the ASB®, an international standard launched in 1997. Valeo's SCALA is the first lidar offering such performance that can be mass-produced at a competitive cost.

“Eyes off” system allows the driver to release pedals and steering wheel, watch a video or write an SMS during the journey. They must however be ready to take control of the vehicle at any time. The vehicle can also park itself in its garage, without a driver.

Lidar (Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging), or laser scanner, works by emitting short luminous pulses in the infrared spectrum. It has an emitter and a receiver: when the emitted light ray reaches an object, it is reflected and received by the receiver, which generates an electric signal. The distance between the emitter and the obstacle is determined by measuring the pulse's travel time.

After the launch of mass production in 2017, NTN-SNR will produce more than 150,000 parts per annum starting in 2019 and is already working with Valeo on the second generation of Lidar.
