On this podcast: we cover developments in lidar, as several makers have been telling us how they want to make lidar ubiquitous, plus we look behind the hardware agnostic connected car platform recently introduced by BlackBerry called BlackBerry Ivy. During the CES 2022 show, we caught up with Ted Tewkesbury, CEO of Velodyne Lidar, who tells us why it’s an ‘exciting’ time to be in the lidar industry. In the second part of the podcast, Sarah Tatsis senior vice president for the Ivy platform development at BlackBerry, talked about its hardware agnostic intelligent vehicle data platform it co-developed with Amazon Web Services, shown at CES for the first time on physical hardware with the aim of showing how AI-based decisions would impact in-car experiences.
