AutoX Inc. (AutoX), the frontrunner RoboTaxi company of China has picked out SiLC’s Eyeonic Vision Sensor, a silicon photonics innovator, for its robotic taxi fleet. SiLC’s Eyeonic Vision Sensors take LiDAR to a next level of performance. It will provide accurate depth, instantaneous velocity, and dual-polarization intensity making it an ideal LiDAR-based vision solution for AutoX’s RoboTaxis.
The company Tweet: “we’re excited to work with the world’s leading 4D LiDAR chip supplier. together , we are building safer transportation and bettering lives for the world.”
AutoX is amming at democratize autonomy after announcing its RoboTaxi fleet has grown to more than 1000 autonomous vehicles.the self-driving platform of the company is capable of controlling the most challenging and dynamic traffic scenarios in urban cities around the world. It is using SiLC’s Eyeonic Vision sensor to deliver highly detailed and accurate instantaneous velocity and ultra-long-range information to augment other sensors in its patent hardware stack. In the beginning of this year Auto revealed Asia’s first L-4 dedicated automated production facility to equip its fleet.
“At AutoX we are laser focused on, and fully committed to, our mission of democratizing autonomy — to accelerate the advent of fully driverless cars,” noted Jianxiong Xiao (Professor X), founder and CEO of AutoX. “We’re excited to work with the world’s leading 4D LiDAR chip supplier. Together, we are building safer transportation and bettering lives for the world.”
SiLC’s Eyeonic Vision Sensor is a first of its kind FMCW LiDAR transceiver, announced in December 2021. At the nexus of the Eyeonic Vision Sensor is SiLC’s silicon photonic chip which integrates LiDAR functionality into a single, tiny chip. Representing decades of silicon photonics innovation, this chip is the only readily integratable solution for manufacturers building the next generation of autonomous vehicles, security solutions and industrial robots.
“In addition to being the only fully chip-integrated solution on the market, SiLC also has demonstrated the longest-range FMCW LiDAR operation,” said Dr. Mehdi Asghari, SiLC’s CEO and founder. “This and the combination of precision velocity enables a vastly simplified and lower latency perception stack. We’re pleased to partner with AutoX, a company dedicated to improving the safety and performance of autonomous vehicles.”
