We will further contribute to the development of Automated driving technologies and deliver genuine peace of mind for the future of mobile society, by enhancing our long-cultivated sensing technologies as well as our AI and information technology.

This technology can be used in several product areas, for example, AD\/ADAS sensor must remain reliable in any weather conditions, and Canatu\u2019s technology can keep sensors functional at all times. On the other hand, within the car interior, the technology enables new, innovative HMI solutions to the cockpit area and can be utilized to enhance DENSO\u2019s cockpit architecture\u201d, says Hirotsugu Takeuchi, Head of Mobility Electronics Business Group, DENSO Corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
