This year, the spotlight shines bright on the advanced capabilities of our
flagship product, the Falcon K LiDAR sensor, which has been integrated into
all of the competing vehicles. Designed to deliver ultra-long-range detection
capabilities with image-grade resolution, Falcon K is not only defining new
standards in the autonomous racing world, but also new possibilities, enabling
cars to navigate at thrilling speeds of up to 300 km/h.

"The integration of Falcon K LiDAR technology into the racecars represents a
significant leap in autonomous racing," says Christian Kimmle, Managing
Director of the Seyond Europe GmbH. "Our technology ensures not only the speed
but also, critically, the safety of vehicles, propelling us into the future of
motorsport. What was once only imaginable in sci-fi movies and books has now
become reality."

With its unmatched range and accuracy, the Falcon K allows vehicles to
accurately detect and react to their surroundings, ensuring high-speed
maneuvers are executed with precision and safety. This level of reliability
and performance is crucial in a racing context, where the margin for error is
slim and the consequences of failure, even without a human driver, are
significant.

The A2RL event embodies the spirit of innovation and technological
advancement, showcasing the incredible strides we are making in harnessing AI
to shape the future of mobility", states Stephane Timpano at A2RL. "Through
partnerships with leading global tech companies like Seyond, we are raising
the bar for safety and performance both on the track today, and in the street
tomorrow."

In the world of autonomous racing, the importance of reliable sensors cannot
be overstated. They are the eyes of the vehicle, constantly scanning the
environment to detect obstacles, track competitors, and inform strategic
decisions. In such high-speed scenarios, the ability to predict and avoid
potential crashes is paramount. The Falcon K LiDAR sensor ensures that
vehicles are not just fast, but also smart and safe, effectively reducing the
risk of collisions and enhancing the overall safety of the race.
