As a result, the company has installed three InnovizOne Lidars from Innoviz Technologies on its vehicle. As well as that company implementing ISO 26262 in the software of its Lidars, ASICs, detectors, MEMS and other hardware from their early development stages, Innoviz has created its software in compliance with ASPICE (Automotive Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination) standards, and it has selected its supplier manufacturers to meet the IATF 16949 standard on quality requirements for automotive management systems. The InnovizOne Lidar measures 45 mm high, 111.4 mm wide and 97.9 mm long, and it has a 115° maximum horizontal FoV (with up to 25° in the vertical plane). It operates with a detection range running from 1 -250 m away, an angular resolution of 0.1° x 0.1°, and a frame rate of either 10 fps or 15 fps (as pre-configured by the end-user). Additionally, its developers say it measures points with no gaps between pixels, with multiple reflections per pixel, and with a pre-configured “region of interest” in the centre of its FoV (measuring 20° wide by 8° tall), in which laser energy is focused to increase the detection range (although the resolution is kept uniform over the vertical FoV to avoid missing key data at the edges, such as at road level or above the vehicle). Meanwhile, a set of five 4D imaging radars has been integrated, as an accurate and fast solution for tracking the position and velocity of objects around the vehicle, deemed critical by LOXO (and many others) for automotive safety. Five cameras are installed concentrically around Alpha; the cameras integrate a protective glass layer over their lenses which is continuously heated to provide an anti-icing function helpful for getting continuous clear vision in the cold climates of Alpha’s trials and operations to date. “We have effectively no blind spots around Alpha, thanks to how we’ve mounted the sensors. And given that it’s most critical for safety rating the vehicle that we cover the frontal area in which it spends the most time driving, our sensor arrangement overlaps the Lidar, radar and camera detections such that they provide three layers of redundancy in the forward direction,” Amini says. “In terms of how we’ll do the sensors on converted vehicles: we showed a Volkswagen ID Buzz cargo van we nicknamed ‘Mathilde’ in Bern last year, which integrated our self-driving software stack as well as a sensor complement almost exactly the same as Alpha’s. There were only small differences in the radar, camera and Lidar arrangements. “Specifically, we didn’t change or install the radar because the ID Buzz already has its own, the cameras are positioned a little higher because the van’s body is bigger than Alpha’s, and there is a
