The Stellantis group has announced that it has chosen to equip several models across its various auto brands with Valeo's third-generation LiDAR from 2024. This will enable these vehicles to be certified for level 3 autonomous driving, which means that the driver will be able to take their hands off the steering wheel and their eyes off the road in complete safety.

Thanks to the latest generation of Valeo's LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system, Stellantis will be able to offer its customers a more enjoyable driving experience. Level 3 self-driving capabilities can be achieved thanks to the ability of Valeo's LiDAR to detect absolutely all objects and road users, including motorists, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians, day and night.
