Autonomous vehicle technology company Perrone Robotics has launched the TONY (short for TO Navigate You) ADAS Kit, an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) designed to introduce safety and driver assistance features to a range of vehicles, both new and existing.
Driver assistance functions of the kit include forward collision avoidance, which detects and prevents potential collisions with sensor technology; pedestrian detection/avoidance; lane departure warning/correction, which alerts the driver and takes corrective action to stay within lane markings; automatic emergency braking (AEB), which will automatically apply brakes in emergency situations to avoid or mitigate collisions; blind spot detection, which provides alerts for vehicles in blind spots; and adaptive cruise control (ACC) to help maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead by adjusting speed automatically.
Perrone says the kit is configurable and vehicle-agnostic, making it suitable for various vehicle types, including buses and transit and cargo vans.
“We are excited to introduce the TONY ADAS Kit to the market,” said Paul Perrone, CEO of Perrone Robotics.
“This product brings our proven autonomous technology into the ADAS space, offering a scalable, cost-effective solution for enhancing vehicle safety and compliance with emerging regulations.”
Perrone also provides the TONY ADAS Kit Lite, a minimum viable product designed for low-cost, entry-level driver assistance in limited operational scenarios.
Both solutions are suitable for fleet operators and manufacturers looking to upgrade their vehicles to comply with safety standards.
“Safety and compliance are paramount, and our TONY ADAS Kit provides a seamless path to integrating essential ADAS features into existing and new vehicles,” added Perrone. “With our technology, the transition to higher levels of automation is smooth and futureproof.”
