**ABSTRACT**
Each year in the US, there are approximately 7 Million road accidents causing huge social and economic impact. Valeo is committed to enabling safer and autonomous mobility by developing autonomous solutions that increase the perception capabilities of the vehicles on the roads.
At the cornerstone of these solutions is Valeo SCALA™ LiDAR, built on 12 years of continuous innovation and leadership in the LiDAR space. Valeo introduced its first automotive grade LiDAR, Valeo SCALA™ 1, in 2017, and since then remains the leading company in the production of automotive LiDAR sensors and perception software on an industrial scale.
Valeo SCALA™ 1 and 2 made conditional autonomous driving in traffic jams a reality. SCALA™ 3 dramatically increases the domain of operation – and therefore the customer value – of private vehicles and robotaxis at scale.
To make a wider societal impact, LiDAR deployment requires standardization and better affordability – two areas where SAE could play an instrumental role.
