Hitachi Automotive’s stereo camera, with nighttime pedestrian detection features, has been adopted by Suzuki Motor Corporation for their “Spacia” series. “Spacia” is a series of mini passenger vehicles launched in August 2020 with enhanced safety features.
The “Spacia’s” improved safety devices includes a new dual camera braking support, which detects pedestrians even at night, and adaptive cruise control. In addition, the series has enhanced advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), including improved recognition of road signs such as stop signs.
These features are supported by Hitachi Automotive Systems’ stereo camera with nighttime pedestrian detection. The stereo camera leverages Hitachi’s machine learning technology, making it possible to detect pedestrians with a high level of precision.
Hitachi Automotive said in a Press Release that it will continue supporting such safety support vehicles with advanced ADAS technologies and will continue to contribute to the prevention of traffic accidents.
