EPIC Meeting on LIDAR Technologies for Automotive
Anteryon - Eindhoven, The Netherlands


The LiDAR demands in terms of size, price and reliability by the automotive industry, require new developments in photonics. The vision of the automotive industry is to place LIDARs in headlights and taillights, bumpers, roof, and other places in the car, at low cost, high durability, low maintenance, high stability, each of these locations with different required specifications.

The EPIC Meeting on LiDAR for Automotive brought together the full supply chain to discuss the unmet needs from TIER1 suppliers and OEMs, and the needs for new photonics developments, such as wafer-level and freeform optics, high power laser diodes, integrated photonics, assembly processes.

Testimonials

It was my first meeting with EPIC and I now understand the value for my and other organizations in being an EPIC member. I was very pleased with the accommodation, attendees, talks, and discussions and found it very informative and fruitful and I will definitely further exchange with some companies on this topic. I am looking forward to upcoming events in the future.
