LeddarTech technology selected for maximum safety of COAST Autonomous delivery vehicle

KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 -- LeddarTech’s solid-state LiDAR technology has been selected by COAST Autonomous as the most reliable solution, achieving maximum safety levels for its autonomous ‘Bigfoot’ delivery vehicle.

According to a statement, COAST Autonomous has deployed the Leddar™ Pixell in its autonomous delivery vehicle (ADV) at the Kinney County Railport (KCRP) near Brackettville, Texas.

KCRP is one of several rail yards operated by Harbor Rail Services Company of California.

The self-driving technology company chose LeddarTech’s Leddar Pixell Cocoon LiDAR with its 360-degree vehicle coverage as a supplier for this project.

The COAST Autonomous electric ADVs operate CO2 emission-free and enable Harbor Rail to operate and move equipment and supplies 24 hours a day in their industrial environment safely and efficiently.

These electric vehicles are equipped with technology that enables autonomous driving with solid-state Flash LiDAR technology provided by LeddarTech.

COAST Autonomous has developed self-driving vehicles that integrate several detection technologies, including LiDAR and camera.

LeddarTech’s Leddar Pixell provides full coverage with no dead zones within the entire perimeter of the vehicle, also referred to as the ‘cocoon’.

This protects all workers on an industrial site, on foot or in another vehicle, who may approach the ADV in stop-and-go situations.
