AEye and MoveAWheeL Sign MOU to Explore Automotive Safety Solution Combining Long-Range Lidar with Real-Time Road-Surface Friction Sensing
Collaboration pairs Apollo's™ one-kilometer detection range with MoveAWheeL's road-surface prediction technology to enhance ADAS and autonomous driving in adverse conditions
AEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIDR), a global leader in software-defined, high-performance lidar solutions, and MoveAWheeL, a developer of acoustic-based Physical AI road-surface sensing, today announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore the integration of AEye’s Apollo™ long-range lidar sensor with MoveAWheeL’s tactile intelligencetechnology for next-generation automotive safety and autonomous driving applications.
The collaboration will focus on enhancing Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving capabilities by enabling vehicles not only to detect and interpret objects ahead, but also to better understand real-time road conditions that may impact braking, steering, and vehicle control. The companies intend to evaluate how Apollo’s™ long-range 3D perception can pair with MoveAWheeL’s friction-coefficient prediction technology to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the driving environment, particularly in challenging conditions such as rain, snow, and black ice.
