STMicroelectronics has introduced a new product, the VL53L9, which may play a role in advancing edge AI. The company has also unveiled a compact direct Time-of-Flight 3D LiDAR module and launched a new high-resolution LiDAR module, both of which are intended for use in edge AI systems. Additionally, STMicroelectronics has introduced an automotive microcontroller with AI acceleration for edge intelligence, although it is unclear if this is related to the VL53L9.
