Quanergy founded in November 2012, is developing the world’s leading LiDAR sensors and software for capturing and processing real-time 3D mapping data. In transportation, the data will be utilized to greatly improve the accuracy and reliability of on-board driver safety systems and enhance them with object recognition and scenario analysis capability, and also to enable autonomous driving in the future. Quanergy has established early partnerships with global automotive companies and digital map makers, and will be expanding its market footprint following introduction of the Mark VIII.

Koito Manufacturing Co.,Ltd. and Quanergy Systems, Inc. announced a collaboration to design an automotive headlight concept with built-in Quanergy S3 solid state LiDAR sensors. The Koito headlights, which will be located on the corners of a vehicle, each incorporates two compact Quanergy S3 solid state LiDARs that perform sensing forward and to the side, and provide real-time long-range 3D views of the environment around the vehicle and the ability to recognize and track objects. The sensors are seamlessly embedded inside the headlights and do not protrude or alter the exterior look of the headlights or the vehicle. Additionally, the headlight protects the sensors from dust, dirt and water, and headlight lens washers can be used to help ensure an unobstructed view for the sensors. The LiDARs embedded in the headlights have the function of primary sensors in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle (AV) systems.
