At ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo Europe, Teledyne Flir demonstrated the benefits of thermal imaging in ADAS. The company’s global head of business development, John Eggert, and engineering director and product manager – automotive, Chris Posch, explain to ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle International that thermal imaging enhances night vision and adds redundancy, and is advantageous over lidar systems due to its passive, lower-cost nature. They say that manufacturers are showing increased interest in thermal integration, particularly for Level 4 autonomous vehicles. At the expo, Teledyne Flir presented thermal cameras and a development kit as cost-effective solutions for ADAS applications.
