Valeo Brain Division

Redefining the Driving Experience

Valeo Brain Division drives the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) revolution by pioneering driving automation and redefining the interior experience, creating a new era of autonomous and enjoyable travel.

The emergence of software-defined vehicles (SDV) marks a significant paradigm shift that is reshaping traditional automotive frameworks. Our Valeo Brain Division is actively engaged in this transformation. By accelerating in driving automation with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and reinventing the interior experience, we are leveraging opportunities offered by the new electric/electronic architectures inherent to the SDV.

Our solutions enhance the safety and enjoyment of driving by using a broad spectrum of sensor technologies (ultrasonic sensors, cameras, thermal imaging, and medium to long-range radars, as well as LiDAR), computing units acting like “brains” (ranging from Zone Controllers and Domain Controllers to Central Computing Units), as well as the software itself with advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI).

To reinvent the interior experience, we develop technology in the field of human-machine interface and vehicle cabin monitoring that improves safety, and that also creates a comfortable cocoon-like interior, offering passengers a personalized, interactive and secure experience.

Lastly, connectivity is key in the SDV transformation. Valeo Brain Division’s solutions offer the high-speed, low-latency connectivity required for state-of-the-art driving automation and interior experience.
