EXPO 2023 by STARTUP AUTOBAHN powered by Plug and Play

Canatu will attend the STARTUP AUTOBAHN EXPO2023 on June 22nd, 2023 in Stuttgart. At the event, Canatu will present a joint pilot project with Webasto on integrating LiDAR and camera heating on Roof Sensor Module (RSM) for autonomous driving.

The Webasto RSM integrates ADAS sensors and sensor availability functions like deicing and anti-fogging seamlessly into the roofline which is ideal positioning for the sensors because of the all-round view and optimal detection. To enable functionality in harsh weather, a reliable deicing and anti-fogging function is needed. The Canatu film heater addresses this, making autonomous driving safer.

“The Webasto Roof Sensor Module is the ideal solution for the integration of sensors into any type of autonomous vehicle. To enable functionality also in harsh weather conditions a reliable deicing and de-fogging function is needed. The Canatu film heater delivers excellent results for exactly these functions and convinces with high optical and thermal performance.”
