The combination of Koito’s lighting technologies and Lidar technologies provides an automotive component with built-in Lidar for car manufacturers and are expected to function interactively with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) or autonomous driving technology.

As Lidar’s core technology, Blickfeld’s 3D solid-state Lidar adopts silicon MEMS mirror. The Lidar can be integrated directly into a vehicle’s lighting equipment, enabling real-time 3D mapping and object detection, classification, and tracking without protruding or altering the exterior design of the vehicle.

Founded in 2017, Blickfeld is a provider of Lidar technology for autonomous mobility and IoT applications. The company has developed proprietary Lidar technology based on patented silicon MEMS mirrors designed for the Lidar application.
