Sensata Technologies (NYSE:ST), a leading manufacturer of sensing and electrical protection solutions, and Quanergy Systems, Inc., the leading provider of solid state LiDAR sensors and smart sensing solutions, today announced that they will be showcasing their solid state LiDAR solution at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada from January 5 – 8, 2017.

Sensata and Quanergy signed an exclusive agreement in March 2016 to provide component level solid state LiDAR sensors to the ground transportation market. Since finalizing the agreement, both companies have been working to develop solid state scanning LiDAR sensors (optical phased array, no moving parts) that will provide long-range, high-resolution scanning for next generation advanced safety and autonomous driving systems.

Quanergy was recently awarded the CES 2017 ‘Best of Innovation’ Award in the vehicle intelligence category for its S3 solid state LiDAR sensor. The S3 is the first and only compact, low-cost, automotive-grade solid state LiDAR sensor, with high reliability and superior capability. The sensor can be concealed into the body of any vehicle, ensuring uncompromised design aesthetics and aerodynamics. Its ability to perform real-time 3D mapping and object detection, tracking and classification, enables autonomous driving.

Sensata and Quanergy will deliver samples to automotive customers for testing and evaluation later this year. As the established sensor supplier with 100 years of expertise behind its product innovations, Sensata is well-positioned to help drive the rapid commercialization of future advanced driver assistance systems including autonomous driving.

“The combination of Sensata’s global scale and auto industry expertise with Quanergy’s capabilities in 3D mapping & object detection, tracking, and classification, put us in a strong position to help our customers meet their objectives for highly automated driving,” said Steve Beringhause, Executive Vice President, Performance Sensing and Chief Technology Officer of Sensata. “We are excited to share the progress we have made with our partners, customers and suppliers at the CES conference.”

“The solid state LiDAR we are bringing to market with Sensata demonstrates that automotive-grade 3D sensing systems can be affordable and reliable, with uncompromised performance,” said Dr. Louay Eldada, Chief Executive Officer of Quanergy. “Our customers’ roadmaps rely on the availability of 3D sensors that are more reasonably priced and more dependable than sensors that have been in the marketplace for the last decade. The S3 LiDAR is the only product that can satisfy this demand in a true solid state solution. We are in a unique position to enable broad deployment of next-generation driver assistance and self-driving systems for a reinvented driving experience that delivers significantly higher levels of safety, efficiency, productivity and comfort.”

Sensata and Quanergy will showcase the award-winning sensor and 3D smart sensing solutions January 5-8 at the 2017 CES trade show in Booth 4138, located in the north hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
