Feb 24 (Reuters) - Neural Propulsion Systems, or NPS, on Wednesday released a product aimed at packaging all the sensors needed to guide a self-driving vehicle, a departure from most other players in the field.
The Pleasanton, California-based company’s first product contains multiple sensors to help self-driving cars navigate: cameras, three types of radar sensors and a proprietary lidar sensor, which uses laser beams to help generate a three-dimensional map of the road.
The company is entering a crowded field for self-driving sensors, with several lidar companies such as Luminar Technologies Inc and Velodyne Lidar Inc already publicly listed and others such as Ouster Inc and Aeva Inc in the process of going public.
