What is a Long-range LiDAR Sensor ?


Building on over 14 years of automotive-grade LiDAR experience, Valeo’s SCALA™ Gen 3 Long Range LiDAR Sensor is at the forefront of advanced driving technology. With its outstanding performance, the Valeo’s SCALA™ Gen 3 is enhancing both safety and comfort; being a key enabler for level 3-4 highway and urban autonomous driving, but also extanding the Operationnal Domain Design of L2+ ADAS functions. This technology is based on our leadership in releasing automotive-grade LiDARs, including the successful Valeo’s SCALA™ Gen 2, key enabler for the Mercedes Level 3 Traffic Jam Pilot, first mass produced L3 worldwide.

The Valeo’s SCALA™ Gen 3 offers a superior performance, providing excellent range-resolution and frame rate for its point cloud data. With our proprietary algorithms, the long range lidar sensor can effectively detect and classify objects in all kinds of weather conditions. It boasts reliable small object detection capabilities, crucial for high-speed highway driving, and mature lane marking detection, among other AI based perception capabilities.

The slim profile design of Valeo’s SCALA™ 3, and low power consumption, allows it to be installed anywhere on the vehicle. It provides an impressive range of 200 meters for 10% reflectivity targets, with a 120° horizontal and 26° vertical field of view. The Valeo’s SCALA™ Gen 3 also features a fine 0.05° horizontal and vertical resolution and delivers up to 12.5 million points per echo per second. Despite these powerful capabilities, the long range Lidar sensor maintains a slim profile, measuring only 186 x 46 x 128 mm (WxHxD).

Valeo is the leader in automotive LiDAR expertise with more than 220,000 Valeo’s SCALA™ on the road. Our in-house software stack ensures optimal real-life perception, making the Valeo’s SCALA™ Gen 3 a key enabler for OEMs with approved Level 3 functions on the road. To guarantee performance in all conditions, we’ve integrated Lidar sensor heating and an in-house cleaning system.

In summary, Valeo’s SCALA™ Gen 3 Long Distance LiDAR Sensor is a testament to our commitment to advancing autonomous driving technology, delivering superior performance, versatility, and reliability in a compact design.
