Trucking sensors are becoming an increasingly important part of automotive technology, as demonstrated at CES 2024. The convention showcased various methods of trucking sensors, including radar, sonar, lidar, and cameras. These sensors are being integrated into production vehicles to increase safety and improve driver assistance systems. Lidar technology is particularly attractive because it adds an additional safety layer and is becoming more affordable and easier to integrate. Valeo, an automotive technology developer, has comprehensive sensor and autonomous driving solutions, while Webasto has begun integrating sensors into rooftop modules for trucks. Stoneridge is exploring ways to add sensing technology to its mirror system for commercial vehicles. The growing interest in trucking sensors is driven by a desire to improve safety and driver assistance systems and develop fully autonomous vehicles.
