QUEBEC CITY, Canada, May 14, 2025), an AI-powered software company recognized for its innovation in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD), is pleased to announce the launch of LeddarSim, a next-generation simulation platform purposely built to reduce the gap between virtual testing and real-world deployment.
LeddarSim redefines the standards of ADAS and AD development by closing the long-standing simulation gap through delivering a breakthrough multi-modality neural reconstruction of driving scenarios, including camera, radar and LiDAR inputs. The platform generates sensor-accurate, real-time renderings of real-world driving, resulting in a high-fidelity environment that empowers developers to train, test and validate perception models under conditions that mirror real-life complexity and dynamics.
Anticipated Benefits to Automotive OEMs and Tier 1 Suppliers:
- Accelerate Time-to-Market: LeddarSim allows ADAS/AD engineers to reconstruct and test millions of configurable scenarios virtually, significantly reducing development cycles and speeding up validation.
- Cut Costs, Not Corners: LeddarSim offers a cost-effective solution without compromising accuracy, leading to a 10x reduction in data and annotation costs and significant savings in non-recurring engineering (NRE) expenses.
- Design Once, Deploy Anywhere: LeddarSim's flexibility allows for easy adaptation of sensor setups, vehicle types and regional driving conditions, enabling scalable development across various platforms.
- Data-Driven Simulation: Unlike synthetic environments, LeddarSim builds realistic scenarios directly from real-world data, enhancing the accuracy and relevance of simulations.
- Multi-Modal Sensor Support: LeddarSim can simulate data from cameras, radar and LiDAR simultaneously, optimizing and validating multi-sensor perception systems.
- Near-Zero Simulation Gap: LeddarSim uses advanced AI algorithms ensuring fidelity to real-world conditions; this comprehensive approach minimizes the gap between virtual testing and real-world performance.
"Traditional simulation platforms struggle to match the unpredictability and nuance of real-world driving," said Pierre Olivier, CTO of LeddarTech. "With LeddarSim, we've managed to design a solution that achieves a near-zero simulation gap. By accelerating testing and validation cycles, LeddarSim empowers automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to bring next-generation ADAS and autonomous driving solutions to market faster, with greater confidence in performance and safety."
Antonio Polo, Sr. Vice-President of Product and Business Development at LeddarTech, added: "Automotive companies face exponential challenges in the cost, complexity and scale of the data required to deploy safety-compliant and regulation-ready ADAS and AD systems at scale. LeddarSim brings the latest advances in AI-powered, multi-modal sensor dataset generation to recreate real-world driving scenarios with high fidelity. We believe LeddarSim fills a critical gap in the market. As the demand for simulation tools grows-with the industry expected to surpass $4.6 billion by 2035-this solution is poised to help address the massive data and validation challenge. LeddarSim is available for trial evaluation and offers the flexibility to be used as a stand-alone tool or integrated within existing simulation toolchains."
