French auto parts maker Valeo to work with Baidu

FRENCH auto parts maker Valeo said yesterday that the company will cooperate strategically with Baidu on its open autonomous driving platform Apollo.

“This partnership, which is in line with our open innovation approach, demonstrates Valeo’s ambitious vision for the development of autonomous vehicles,” said Valeo’s statement.

By joining Apollo, Valeo said it will contribute its expertise in sensors. The company said it has a comprehensive range of sensors including cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors and laser scanners. The auto parts maker said it will also contribute its skills in sensor cleaning systems, which are key to optimal sensor functioning, connectivity between autonomous vehicles, and control and optimization of air quality inside the vehicle.

By cooperating with Baidu, Valeo said it will benefit in software, hardware and data tools. These areas will consist of operating systems, high-precision positioning and high definition mapping services, simulation engines and cloud algorithms.

Launched in April 2017, Baidu’s Apollo is an open platform to help accelerate the development, testing and deployment of autonomous vehicles via collaboration. It also provides a technical solution for the major features and functions of an autonomous vehicle.
