PARIS, Dec. 20, 2018 –
As the tech and automotive industries began walking back their high expectations for autonomous vehicles in 2018, they are eagerly shifting gears to Plan B – a renewed emphasis on advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Of a variety of sensors designed for ADAS features, the race is most competitive and concentrated in computer vision. Vision is the most broadly used advanced sensor.
