Ensuring Safe and Secure Mobility
Advancements in autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and environmental awareness are pushing the automotive industry toward a major transformation.
In addition to supporting safer vehicles, Kyocera is developing technologies and products for a safe and secure mobility society, including smart transportation infrastructure.
Advancing Autonomous Driving with Next Generation Sensing Technology
Self-Driving Buses
Kyocera has conducted self-driving tests between our Shiga Gamo and Shiga Yokaichi Plants using a compact EV* bus equipped with stereo cameras, millimeter-wave radar, laser sensors, perimeter detection cameras, and a self-driving system jointly developed with Advanced Smart Mobility Co., Ltd. Our goal is to support vulnerable road users and solve transportation-related issues, such as delivery delays due to driver shortages.

Products
Improving Safety and Assisting Drivers
Camera Modules
High reliability and advanced optical sensing help enhance vehicle safety and convenience.
In-Vehicle Millimeter-Wave Radar Substrates
Substrates with embedded antennas for obstacle detection.
Head-Up-Display LCDs
Vehicle speed and other critical driving data are projected above the dashboard. High-definition display technology makes the projection clear and vivid.
Automotive Connectors
Kyocera develops electronic connectors for specific automotive requirements, including a high-reliability floatingstructure board-to-board connector that absorbs misalignments and vibrations.
Environmentally Friendly High-Performance Automotive Components
Oxygen-Sensor Heaters
Our sensor heaters reach operating temperature just seconds after a cold engine starts, ensuring cleaner exhaust by allowing emissions sensors to function almost immediately.
LED Packages
Ultra-compact, low-profile, surface-mountable packages are ideal for high-brightness automotive LEDs. They also offer high heat dissipation properties.
EV Relay Components
Our high-reliability ceramic components are used for motor-drive and charging current switching in electric vehicles and other applications.
