Former Volkswagen and Audi Executive Dr. Ingo Stuermer Joins NODAR's Advisory Board

Automotive Expert to Provide High-Level Strategic Consulting to Stereo Vision Technology Company

SOMERVILLE, Mass., Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- NODAR, the leading provider of next-generation stereo vision technology for autonomous vehicles (AVs), announces today that former Volkswagen and Audi executive Dr. Ingo Stuermer joins NODAR's advisory board. The automotive expert will provide high-level strategic consulting to NODAR.

"I am very excited to join NODAR's advisory board," says Dr. Ingo Stuermer. "I believe NODAR's groundbreaking 3D vision technology is key to accelerating the advancement of autonomous vehicles by virtue of its high performance and automotive-compatible price-point."

At Volkswagen, Stuermer served as Senior Vice President of ADAS/AD at CARIAD, where he was the head of the Bosch/Volkswagen software alliance for SAE level 2+ and level 3 automated driving for electric vehicles. Stuermer also previously served as Vice President of Operations at Artemis GmbH (a former subsidiary of Volkswagen Group), where he created new competitive engineering operations that redefined vehicle concept development. Stuermer recently joined Einride Autonomous Technologies as Chief Technology Officer.

"We are pleased for Dr. Ingo Stuermer to join our advisory board, where we can leverage his in-depth expertise of the industry to enhance our current offering to OEMs and tier-1s," says Leaf Jiang, Chief Executive Officer at NODAR.

NODAR's camera-based 3D vision technology is a crucial component in the development of ADAS and autonomous vehicles, delivering on the stringent performance, reliability, and pricing requirements of the automotive market. As the automotive world moves towards "mind-off", or L3 vehicle operation, where humans will no longer need to pay attention in certain situations while driving, a greater reliance on sensing and perception systems will naturally occur. NODAR's 3D vision platform, named Hammerhead, provides high-resolution, real-time, ultra-long-range 3D sensing at a price point compatible with mainstream passenger cars.
