Yesterday, German chip maker Infineon announced the successful acquisition of Dutch semiconductor company Innoluce.
It is reported that Innoluce's miniature laser scanning module integrates silicon-based solid-state MEMS micromirrors, and is a leading innovator of miniature laser scanning modules. This micro-mirror is essential for laser beam adjustment in automotive light detection and ranging systems (lidar). According to analysis, Infineon's acquisition of Innoluce can reduce the cost of autonomous vehicle lighting detection and ranging systems.
"This acquisition gives us a big step forward in the field of lidar technology, which will play an important role in the safety and security of autonomous vehicles," said Peter Schiefer, president of Infineon Automotive Electronics. "We Make every new car in the world equipped with lidar. "
