Nexyad CEO Editorial

 

Hello, NEXYAD wishes you a Happy New Year from CES Las Vegas NEXYAD is participating again this year in 2023 at CES Las Vegas. We have a video demonstration playing at the HERE Technologies booth in Central PLAZA. We met automotive manufacturers interested in our SafetyNex AI, which measures the vehicle’s PRUDENCE in its environment while driving, in real time. This makes it possible to simplify applications by at least a factor of 100: . autonomous vehicle . ADAS, and in particular, Predictive ACC . driver assistance cockpit applications: Safety Coach, Safety Score, recommended speed pasting on dashboard The entire NEXYAD team joins me in wishing you a happy new year 2023, both professionally and personally. Let’s succeed. Gerard, CEO of Nexyad

NEXYAD at CES 2023

 

The 2023 edition of CES in Las Vegas seemed to be the year of resurrection. Not quite the same CES as before COVID-19 period, but much bigger than in 2022, even if the Chinese were still absent. We noticed the geant booth of Stellantis, a surprising Vinfast that presented 4 models, superb Mobileye with house of screens and Central Plaza alive with Waymo, Forvia, Valeo, Volkswagen, Aptiv aside and of course HERE Technologies that shows Nexyad video in a loop.

There are more and more lidar companies at each corner of West Hall.  Nexyad special interest also drove us to Amazon Automotive, Magna the famous tier one, Map provider Tomtom, AVL, Nira Dynamics that brings Vehicle Onboard Analytics and Road Perception, software maker Cariad for Volkswagen, and we met people from Lucid Motors, GM, Albizia Capital and Software République.

 

Partnership of AEVA with Plus to propose highly automated trucks using 4D lidars long range detection. Paccar owner of DAF, Kenworth and Peterbilt, shown electric autonomous trucks L3 and L4 fast charger or hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.

 

There was quasi no Chinese this year in on the strip of Las Vegas as the Convention Center, however CES attracted lots of French people. They were everywhere. It was the right occasion to see our partners all together in the same place… Nexyad was happy to meet Synox/SoFleet an important fleet management, telematics and more company based in south of France, YoGoKo that collects, transfers and manages data for secure connected and cooperative mobility, Geoflex regulary present at CES, ProtectEcran, Intempora on dSPACE Booth and Aladin with their Argobox roof-top.

Technological partnership between dSPACE & NEXYAD

 

September 29th 2022. In the context of a technological partnership, DSPACE applied with success an advanced AI module of NEXYAD on the asynchonous real time framework RTMaps, for guiding autonomous driving robots: drivable surface detection from a camera, with our AI perception module RoadNex.

Note :  free space detection here is performed only based on the camera video stream. The lidar sensor that is displayed is not used for this free-space detection and can be used for other functions (e.g. SLAM-based positioning, objects detection, free-space redundancy… what so ever).
