CEO Frantz Saintellemy said the company gathers real-world sensor data to create virtual scenario tests for robots and autonomous vehicles. It is working with self-driving truck firm NuPort Robotics. MaC Venture Capital led the round, with participants including BDC Capital and venture debt from RBCx. (The Logic)
Taking point: Saintellemy was previously CEO of BDC-backed autonomous vehicle firm LeddarTech, which filed for creditor protection last year. That company also specialized in sensor data, using vehicle sensors to help self-driving cars operate. This time, Qvyon aims to create simulations of situations that would be too dangerous for robots or autonomous vehicles to test in the real world. Such edge-case scenarios are becoming increasingly important to the sector, as companies like NuPort deploy in more hazardous environments, like forestry roads. Some autonomous trucking companies, like Waabi, are creating their own virtual models of the real world to run simulations.
