In early 2025, LeddarTech and its LeddarVision perception solution were selected by a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer for model year 2028 vehicles. LeddarVision was chosen after a comprehensive evaluation by this customer, who determined its performance, scalability, and efficiency were ideal for a multi-modal sensor system with both cameras and radars.

Frantz Saintellemy, President and CEO of LeddarTech, joins Carl Anthony on AutoVision News Radio to expand on this OEM design win. He shares an in-depth look at LeddarVision, how AI integration can lead to safer roads, and why democratizing safety for the masses is, and always will be, at the core of LeddarTech.

According to an annual survey conducted by AAA since 2016, most Americans are wary of self-driving cars. While few trust the notion of riding in an autonomous vehicle, it's not the same for ADAS features. In AAA's 2025 study, nearly 80 percent said that prioritizing safety system advancements should be a top technology initiative for automakers.

Greg Brannon, Director of Automotive Engineering for AAA, joins us for insight into the findings of the 2025 study. He speaks about how survey participants grapple with a "loss of control" when presented with the idea of a self-driving car. Greg also shares feedback consumers give AAA on their personal vehicles and why a simplified ADAS nomenclature will benefit the car-buying public.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1.19 million people die annually in traffic crashes. Between 20 and 50 million more suffer non-fatal injuries, with many incurring a disability. According to the WHO, drivers using mobile phones are roughly four times more likely to be involved in an accident.

While numerous risk factors exist regarding global roadway crashes, what can we in the automotive and mobility industries do to reduce these alarming numbers? How can we make a difference through the latest technologies?

This question has been at the heart of Seeing Machines since its humble origins in 2000, from a robotics lab at the Australian National University to a world-leading innovator of DMS solutions underpinned by human factors science.

Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines, joins Carl Anthony for this episode of AutoVision News Radio. Paul shares how the company began its work in the mining vertical, branching into fleet, aviation, and other automotive applications. He also expands on the power of human factors science and why the company's mission to get everyone home safe will never change.
