Plus launched a PlusProtect, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based software that enhances next-generation safety systems for all vehicle types with industry-leading functionalities like high-performance automatic collision mitigation.
“While improved road safety underlies all of our solutions, we created PlusProtect specifically to enable Tier 1s and OEMs to build market-leading next-generation safety systems. Features such as high-performance collision mitigation not only necessitate a new technology approach, adopting PlusProtect as part of the integrated safety solutions also helps them pave the way for higher levels of automation in their product portfolio,” says Shawn Kerrigan, COO and co-founder at Plus.
Key takeaways:
- PlusProtect is a scalable technology that allows global Tier 1 automotive suppliers and vehicle manufacturers to offer enhanced safety features in their next-generation safety systems. These features would address, if not exceed, the performance requirements mandated for automatic emergency braking (AEB) on all passenger vehicles and light trucks by September 2029.
- Key features include high-performance AEB, expanded-coverage lane departure warning, traffic jam assist, predictive fuel optimization, self-calibrated sensors, and over-the-air updates.
- Additional options include GSR-compliant features and an easily extracted event data recorder that can provide a recording of a vehicle’s operational data immediately preceding and following a safety critical event.
- PlusProtect is built on a flexible architecture that adapts easily to different sensor configurations and handles variations in platform, such as U.S. and Europe truck designs and both left- and right-hand driving. Long range cameras continuously auto-calibrate.
