Problem
Existing vehicles lack advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), requiring costly retrofits or new vehicle purchases to access features like adaptive cruise control and lane centering. This limits the widespread adoption of safety and convenience technologies for drivers of current-generation automobiles.
Solution
Lanse provides an AI co-pilot system that integrates Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities into existing vehicles. The system utilizes an edge-optimized hardware platform running an open-source ADAS engine, LanesenseAI, which incorporates real-time perception, path planning, and depth estimation algorithms. Installation and calibration are designed to be straightforward, allowing users to upgrade their vehicles with advanced driver assistance features within an hour. The platform supports over-the-air (OTA) updates to deliver new functionalities and performance enhancements.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes owners of vehicles without factory-installed ADAS who seek to enhance driving safety and convenience, as well as automotive enthusiasts looking to upgrade their current car's capabilities.
